Value Trains commemorates one of the most iconic locomotives in American railroading with this HO scale 40' PS-1 boxcar in Central Pacific Railroad "Jupiter 60" livery. The bright red paint, bold yellow lettering, and gold-accented graphics honor CPRR's legendary 4-4-0 American-type locomotive #60 — the "Jupiter" — that met the Union Pacific's Engine 119 at Promontory Summit on May 10, 1869 to drive the golden spike that completed the Transcontinental Railroad.

Is this a historically accurate Central Pacific boxcar?
No — this is a commemorative paint scheme that pays tribute to CPRR's famous "Jupiter" locomotive. The PS-1 boxcar body is a modern prototype that didn't exist during the CPRR era, making this a fantasy/commemorative piece ideal for collectors and display.
Will it couple with other HO scale cars?
Yes. The knuckle couplers are compatible with Kadee, McHenry, and similar standard HO scale knuckle couplers, so it will run in a mixed consist without adapters.
Does it come with metal wheels?
Yes, the car ships with metal wheelsets already installed.
Is this sold individually or as part of a set?
Sold individually. Add it to your own freight consist or display it as a standalone commemorative piece.
