Athearn HO 53' Wabash Plate Trailer, XTRA #471455 Overview
The Wabash 53' Plate trailer was manufactured in the 1990's. The trailer is distinguished by the unique, uneven spacing of the exterior ribs. It was a common trailer for piggyback service in the 1990s and 2000s. The Plate trailer was subsequently replaced by the DuraPlate trailer in Wabash's line, but these veterans can still be found out on the road (and rails) today.
