Item Description
The Johnstown America BethGon® was developed for the power industry in the late 1970s as a more efficient means of transporting large quantities of coal. These high-sided gondolas incorporated a double tub floor design that not only lowered the center of gravity of the loaded car, but also increase the hauling capacity by 21 tons per car. This new design was uniquely suited for use with automated loading and unloading facilities then being developed for use in the coal industry. These improvements in material handling coupled with the use of the BethGon® provided for a quantum increase in efficiency for both the railroads and the power generation industry.

By 1982, with enough cars having been built that if made into a single train they would stretch from Pittsburgh to Chicago, the BethGon® design was granted a patent for this unique railcar. The design has continued to evolve for even greater efficiency. The aluminum version of the BethGon® that is now being delivered to the railroads and power plants effectively lowers the tare weight of this style of car while increasing the payload. With a tare weight of 43,000 pounds and a payload capacity of 244,000 pounds, the BethGon® design is able to carry almost five times its own weight.

The Athearn Ready-To-Roll™ model features the attention to detail and operation that has become a hallmark of the line. The BethGon® model has exquisite detail incorporated in its state-of-the-art tooling. To complement the crisply molded body and underframe, the car features separate stand alone applied details as well as full interior bracing. In addition, separate metal grab irons are factory installed on this completely assembled ready to operate car. A removable cast resin coal load that is subtly shaded to fully capture the reflective nuance of real coal tops all of this rich detail off. As with all models in the Ready-To-Roll™ line, the cars are fully weighted for optimum performance in addition to having magnetically operated knuckle couplers and RP25 profile metal wheel sets.

Available in five-packs with each car carrying a unique road number, the new BethGon® will provide exemplary service on layouts from coast to coast.
