GATC History
GATC History
The GATC Tank Cars, integral to American railroading from the early to modern diesel locomotive era, were first built in 1949 by the General American Transportation Corp. for several railroads and saw variations and service expansions through the mid-1990s.
These cars, known for transporting petroleum products, underwent modifications for specialized services over the years.
Roka's model captures this rich history with prototypical accuracy and detail, offering these models in various railroad-specific liveries and configurations for the first time
