MTH 20-95117 O Milwuakee Road Husky Stack Car #570603 – Your Source for Gaming Essentials* Trains

Description

This is MTH 20-95117 O Milw.Rd. Husky Stack Car. Husky stack car with two 48′ containers, Milwaukee Road. Car numbers: 570603, 570608. On April 26, 1956, a revolution in shipping began when the first container ship, a converted oil tanker named Ideal X, left Port Newark, NJ headed for Houston. The brainchild of truck-driver-turned-shipping-magnate Malcolm Purcell McLean, containerization was a giant step forward in shipping efficiency, security and cost.

Two decades later, McLean and the Southern Pacific Railroad pioneered the double-stack intermodal car, designed with the help of ACF Industries. The idea was slow to catch on, but in 1984 the SP and American President Lines ran the first coast-to-coast all-double-stack train. In the ensuing years, double-stacks have become one of the most common cars on American rails, delivering containers loaded at all points of the globe to destinations across our continent.
