PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:

The Wabash 53 Plate trailer was manufactured in the 1990 s. The trailer is distinguished by the unique, uneven spacing of the exterior ribs. It was a common trailer for piggyback service in the 1990s and 2000s. The Plate trailer was subsequently replaced by the DuraPlate trailer in Wabash s line, but these veterans can still be found out on the road (and rails) today.
