| Prototype Information — |
The "City
of Los Angeles" was one of the Union Pacific's "City of" trains,
and a direct competitor to trains such as the California Zephyr and Santa Fe Super
Chief. With many railroads in the 1950's vying for the attention of the travelling
public, the Union Pacific spend 10 million dollars in 1954 to upgrade its passenger
services, promoting its commitment to high quality passenger service as well as
creating one of the most iconic trains of the golden age of american railroading.
One of the most
iconic images of this train were its dome cars ("Domeliners"), which,
like the California Zephyr, granted its passengers with an unparalleled view of
the countryside as the train would make its trips between Chicago and Los Angeles. |

Information —E9 |
- The first
year of production of the E8/9 by EMD was 1949. More than 500 A-units and 80 B-units
would eventually be built.
-
The E8/9 diesel locomotive shared the similar "bulldog nose" carbody
style as the shorter, more popular F7 and was powered by two separate 12-cylinder
prime movers capable of producing 2250/2400 hp.
-
The E8/9 also rode on A-1-A trucks (powered axle-idler axle-powered axle), resulting
in an exceptionally smooth ride favored by crews.
-
The E8/9 was produced in both A-units and cabless B-units. The A-units were usually
built to railroad specification of either single or dual headlight and freight
or passenger pilot.
Like the F3 and F7 of the same time period, the E8/9
was utilized in both passenger and freight service. |
| Model
Features — | - All
units are equipped KATO five-pole motor with dual brass flywheels.
- All
units are equipped with the remarkably prototypical-looking, semi-automatic KATO
couplers.
-
All units feature white LED headlights!
- DCC
