GM Silversides Coach Union Pacific Railroad 1:43


loading...

The GM PD-4151 Silversides Coach – Union Pacific Railroad represents a classic era of American highway transportation, combining distinctive 1940s styling with the rugged engineering of General Motors. Originally introduced in 1948, the PD-4151 featured beautifully ribbed aluminum side panels that earned it the nickname “Silversides,” along with a streamlined body, large passenger windows, and comfortable seating for 41 passengers. Its rear-mounted 6-71 two-stroke Detroit Diesel engine and four-speed manual transmission provided dependable performance for long-distance travel. Finished in Union Pacific Railroad colors, this coach makes an interesting tribute to the transportation history surrounding America's great railroad companies, whose passenger services and employee transportation helped connect communities and rail operations across the country.

Historical note: The PD-4151 was originally produced for intercity bus operators, particularly Greyhound. The Union Pacific version represents a special railroad-themed livery rather than a standard factory Union Pacific bus order
