Safe-Pak History
In 1973 the first fully enclosed autorack railroad cars were designed by competing manufacturers to address the problem of increasing vandalism to new automobiles in transit.
The first production fully enclosed autorack railroad cars were delivered in late 1974 and early 1975.
The Whitehead & Kales company design, named Safe-Pak, were delivered to the ATSF, SBD, CSXT Patch, UP/WP, UP, WP, NW, SCL, FEC, and CPAA.
The Safe-Pak autorack cars were in service on US and Canadian railroads until the late 1990s.

Ken Patterson Reviews Safe-Paks
Let customers speak for us
from 38 reviewsAll three Safe-Pak auto rack cars were shipped securely, and arrived in excellent condition. These are my first Roka models, and I’m very happy - They are really well done! The fine detail is amazing, with super-sharp lettering and painting. I confirmed their coupler height/compatibility with models from Athearn Genesis, ClassOne, and Tangent. I’m really looking forward to future Roka releases!
NW #400018 SAFE-PAK, BI-LEVEL, HIGH ROOF, CLAM SHELL END DOORS
I was able to get 2 of these new auto racks. Coupler height was good right out of the box. They look great going around the layout. Tracked well too.
I am thrilled with this models attention to detail. Outstanding paint finish, markings and panel detail. Well balanced with great operational performance. Runs silky smooth. Well done!
I bought one ATSF and two of the CP version cars with clamshell ends and roof. The detail on the car is second to none, but it is sturdy enough to run regularly on a layout in operations. It also works well with other manufacturers. The price point is high, but not out of range for new tooled models coming out in 2023-2024. I will definitely try to add additional units, though the price point will limit purchase power. It took about two weeks from order to ship. I did email the company as the time period was a little long. However, they delivered exactly what they said they would. Packaging protected the cars well, and in all this was a very satisfactory purchase and transaction.
My ATSF car will be reworked as a prototype freelance car and the change will make a remarkable car from a remarkable company!
If you are on the fence, buy a couple and see for yourself!
It looks like a great model and I remember them well, I have not had a chance to run it yet but will this weekend..
Excellent model that is put together well and very accurate! Thanks Roka Models!
While this is a “less common” prototype, it is a definite necessity to include into your collection to gain variety. I have long liked this car since my first model from which Overland released in the 90ies.
Cars are are state of the art.
I was very happy with those cars very well detailed can't wait to get them on my layout I will be building next year
Excellent models !!!
The UP rack is a beautiful car. I own 5 of these cars now and am very satisfied with the quality and construction of the cars
Fantastic model arrived intact, A+++ Service
Good looking kit of period correct auto rack.
Salesman help answer all questions about the different versions
Great product will buy more great customer service
