Business Car Observation UP #101 - Ready to Run -- Union Pacific #101 "Lone Star" (Armour Yellow, gray, "Building America")

The Broadway Limited HO Scale Business Car Observation is based on Union Pacific Car #101, known today as "Lincoln." This unique car has been a familiar sight in UP{s excursion consists across the system including on the Big Boy Tour and numerous officer specials. The car was originally built in 1950 by Pullman-Standard as coach No. 5447 and was originally named Pocatello, after Shoshone tribal Chief Pocatello, and retained that name until 2001. That year, it underwent a major interior overhaul, receiving brand-new wood furnishings. Following the refurbishment, it was renamed "Lone Star" in recognition of UP's operations in Texas, the Lone Star State.
 
In 2020, the car underwent another interior transformation, receiving a refreshed design and a the new name "Lincoln" to honor President Abraham Lincoln, who signed the Pacific Railway Act, leading to the creation of Union Pacific. Today, Lincoln is a signature car in UP's excursion fleet, often found at the rear, or sometimes in the middle, of special trains. It has been pulled by both steam and diesel locomotives and most recently carried the Big Boy Tour drumhead during the summer of 2024, when Big Boy #4014 toured California and the Midwest.
 
This detailed model is available in both its "Lone Star" and present-day Lincoln appearances. The car features prototypically accurate backlit drumheads where appropriate, and all cars includes individually controllable lighting, allowing you to operate them just like the real thing - all with a simple touch of the roof! Other features include a detailed and decorated interior, accurate underbody components, and precisely replicated roof details.
