Description[]
Cabcar is a colorado Railcar single level cab car. She looks very similar to Wes with several minor differences including a 3rd larger window at the back, less roof fans, and 2001 as a fleet number. Like Wes, Cabcar is painted in the same Trimet WES paint scheme. Cabcar is unpowered and requires an engine to pull or push her along.
Portrayal in The Show[]
Cab car works on the Beaverton-Wilsonville commuter rail line. Most of the time, she is paired with Wes and leads the southbound trains while Wes leads northbound. Unlike Wes, who often wishes for adventure beyond his assigned commuter rail line, Cabcar is content with her role as a commuter rail cab car and sometimes even has to divert Wes's attention back to his job. She is friends with RDC, the other DMU on the commuter rail line, and the other engines that serve the westside main line.
Behind The Scenes[]
The actual Trainz model for Cabcar is an Amtrak Avelia Liberty Front, which was found on the Trainz download station, and repainted to resemble the WES commuter rail Colorado Railcar cab car as Trainz doesn't currently have actual CR DMU/cab car models on its site.
