AMC / Train / railroad / autorack question - which roadname ?

[Jerry Casper <gremlingts@xxxxxxxxx>]

  I am a fan of miniature model railroading as well as
AMC cars, and have accumulated many of the toy Tyco
Autoloader HO bi-level auto rack cars with '68 AMX's
and '68 Camaro's on them. One question on full-scale
operation, though, is which roadname(s) were used to
haul American Motors cars from Kenosha cross-country?
I have no idea which railroad operated mainly up in
that area, or which several, and which autoracks would
be prototypical, ie that were mainly used to transport
the AMC cars to their destinations. If anyone can shed
some light on this, I'd appreciate it. 
  I doubt tri-level auto racks were as common, but
maybe they were used? Anyone with AMC / Railroad
experience welcome to comment on this one for me! LOL.
Here's several roadnames on some tri-level autoracks
that are on sale, I am thinking of getting some C & O
anyway for my area ( Virginia ), but wouldn't mind
some from a Wisconsin operating area, either. Here's
the list :

HO B & O AUTORACK TRI LEVEL RTR
HO NY CENTRAL AUTORACK TRI LEVEL RTR
HO CANADIAN NATIONAL AUTORACK TRI LEVEL RTR
HO CANADIAN PACIFIC AUTORACK TRI LEVEL RTR
HO C&O AUTORACK TRI LEVEL RTR  
HO GM&O AUTORACK TRI LEVEL RTR  
HO WESTERN MARYLAND AUTORACK TRI LEVEL RTR 
HO CB&Q AUTORACK TRI LEVEL RTR 
HO NORTHERN PACIFC AUTORACK TRI LEVEL RTR 
HO GREAT NORTHERN AUTORACK TRI LEVEL RTR 
HO BURLINGTON NORTHERN N AUTORACK TRI LEVEL RTR 

  If any of these particular roadnames were used to
haul AMC cars, I'd like to know about it, thanks.

Hopes to model the Kenosha AMC autorack yard some
day...( article was in a past Model Railroading
magazine with pictures from the mid-'60's with old
Ramblers...awesome! Showed the whole AMC train yard
used to load up the autos...strange looking truck
trailers, though, the "mobile parking lots", which
rested at a slant when not attached to the
tractor...would be interesting to model those.)
