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.
