Articulated bulk carriers came into their own in the late 20th century, when many New York City-area landfills closed and municipal waste had to move out by rail. The car is essentially a long flat car with a pivot in the middle and a third truck under the joint, so it can work tight curves and narrow industrial spurs where a conventional long flat would overhang — and the extra truck spreads the weight so it can carry more containers.
Atlas's all-new Master Line HO model is Environmental Protection & Improvement Co. (EPIX) #91428 with a black carrier, loaded with six EPIU containers in EPIC gray and red — EPIU 2094, 4202, 4249, 5015, 5044 and 5116. This scheme is officially licensed by EPIC, the Newark, New Jersey operator that runs one of the largest fleets of articulated bulk waste carriers in the United States.
