PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:

The Wabash 53’ Plate trailer was manufactured in the 1990’s. The trailer is distinguished by the unique, uneven spacing the 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, both of these veterans can still be found out on the road (and rails) today.
