Detailed Information
The ultimate detail with the best Genesis features.
International Car Co. began specializing in caboose production as early as 1941. When the railroads entered the 1960s, many needed to replace their aging, in some cases home shop built, cabooses. International Car responded with a product that could be tailored to each railroads specific needs. Using quality components and modern engineering, ICC became a leading name within the industry.

Sharing ICCs commitment to quality and modern techniques, Athearn has not only recreated these iconic cars, but reinvented the quintessential features a Genesis caboose should have.

DCC lighting as a base standard with the option for sound will add a whole new dimension to operating sessions. Protect reverse moves and simulate train brakes, begins to scratch the surface to the new dimension of realism.

UP SERIES FEATURES:
Air whistle (Functions in DCC)
Although cabooses are rarely used in their traditional role anymore, UP and many other railroads retain some for various uses, including as -Shoving Platforms- on locals and switch jobs. Some local and switching duties include long periods of shoving a cut of cars long distances. Since some freight cars are difficult or unsafe for crew members to ride during a shoving move, some railroads retained cabooses to give the crew a better and safer way of protecting reverse movements over long distances.
