New ArroWedge container

Google this to get some pics of it, this is a totally new design for a container. Shapeways has one under development and a company called Digcom has a paper one you can build. Looks interesting.

We have discussed it here way back in 2013 in this and this thread.  Nice to  see that models are being made.

Update to the design last year: http://www.up.com/aboutup/community/inside_track/arrowedge-redesign-04-27-2016.htm

What UP needs to do when they debut 4014 is to conduct a road test pulling a container train like they did with the 3985... with one of these cone thingies behind the tender. :trollface:

That's awesome the used G scale trains in a wind tunnel.

They have been using the new and the old versions from LA to SLC, so I get to see them
Coming through Vegas. The new ones look a lot more economical to build.

More practical too, it can actually be used as a container.
