AthearnSKU: FDT-ATH-5456

Description

In the 1970s and 1980s, Fruehauf Corporation was one of the more prolific builders of semi-trailers that were designed specifically for intermodal service. Trailer equipment that was designed to be carried on flatcars as part of rail operations usually carried the letter "Z" as the last letter of the reporting mark; hence Fruehauf's designation of "Z-Van". Such equipment was built to higher durability standards than normal trailers, as it had to withstand the rigors of both road and rail travel.
