Prototype History:
TrinityRail’s extensive railcar product portfolio has a complete line of covered hopper cars including a 5,161 cubic foot covered hopper car optimized to transport agricultural products, sugar, dry chemicals, or other similar products. In 1995, Trinity Industries introduced a new center-sill design covered hopper car designed primarily for grain transport. The new design was visually quite different - this one featured curved sides versus previously familiar rib-sided design adopted from Pullman-Standard.
Road Name History:
Headquartered in San Rafael, California, Midwest Agri-Commodities Company (Midwest Agri) was formed in 1979 by Minn-Dak Farmers Cooperative (MDFC). Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative (SMBSC) joined with MDFC later that same year. American Crystal Sugar Company (ACSC) joined the partnership three years later, adding the production of its five factories to Midwest Agri’s available inventory. In 2002, Michigan Sugar Company (MSC), along with its four factories, became Midwest Agri’s fourth member company. With MSC’s purchase of Monitor Sugar, ACSC’s purchase of Sidney Sugar, and SMBSC’s purchase of Spreckels sugar beet plants, Midwest Agri has become a major global supplier of sugar beet pulp and liquids.
Brand/Importer Information:
InterMountain was founded in 1985 by Fred Brummet. They got started in the model railroad business by producing O-Scale model kits. They got started in the N Scale business almost a decade later when in 1994 they introduced the 40-23 reefer car in kit form. Later, in 1998, they started producing RTR (Ready-to-Run) models. By the early 2000s, InterMountain phased out kit production in favor of the RTR models.

The InterMountain Railway company is located at 1224 Boston Ave in Longmont, CO. They are a manufacturer of HO, N and Z scale model trains. They have produced kits as well as RTR (Ready-To-Run) models. Their N Scale products include locomotives as well as rolling stock. Their rolling stock lineup includes Boxcars, Hoppers, Tank Cars, Reefers, Gondolas, Stock Cars and Flatcars.

Their locomotive releases have primarily been diesel units, with the one major exception being their series of AC-12 Cab Forward steam locos. Their diesel lineup includes F3's, F7's, F9's, SD40's, SD45's and FT units. They are known for quality and detail. They also release their rolling stock in larger varieties of road numbers than most of the other manufacturers.
