The flat car in the photo (with the auto rack) is a leased car from Trailer Train (now TTX). There may or may not have also been a railroad logo on the auto rack. I loaded new Ford trucks and unloaded new Mustangs and other Fords in the L&N yards in Louisville, Ky during summer vacation while I was in college. One of my coworkers dropped a new Mustang (66 model) through the gap between the cars on the third level when a between car ramp gave way. It was a lot of trouble to recover that car. The cars were shipped from the Ford plant with one car (generally the lead car on the first deck) having a bag of keys for all the other cars. Bums (hobos) would sometimes climb up and break a window and sleep in the cars or trucks while they were in transit. A reference on shipment of cars by rail is here: http://www.nrhs.com/spot/auto/ Joe Fulton Salinas, CA --- Christopher Ziemnowicz <chrisz@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I am late in responding to this topic, but I have > one picture of tri-level rail cars being loaded up > in Kenosha.
