	Auto Train - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The company used its own locomotives, passenger railcars, autoracks, and cabooses, and used the tracks of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac (RFandP) and Seaboard Coast Line (SCL) railroads from Lorton, Virginia to Sanford, Florida.
		The bilevel autoracks were augmented by trilevel ones that were purchased new in 1976.
		In the mid 1990s, Amtrak replaced all these passenger railcars, which were of the conventional single-level type, with its newer, bilevel Superliner I and II equipment.

	Autorack information - Search.com
		Roofs were added to most autoracks in the 1980s, and end doors were added in the latter portion of the decade (both to prevent damage and to deter people from boarding the cars and riding the train within the vehicles loaded in them).
		Autoracks wait to be unloaded in a BNSF Railway facility in Los Angeles, California.
		The autoracks normally run on the rear of Auto Train consists, which stretch over a quarter-mile, and are a familiar sight on CSX Transportation tracks on the east coast.

	Autoracks are good or bad - Trains.com Forums
		Autoracks today are basically TOFC 89 foot pig flats with a structural addition.(there are JTTX flats out there in service today that are cut down from auto racks)...
		A cut of autorack cars was often referred to as a "portable wall" when stored in a yard or backtrack because you cannot see around or get around them easily.
		I soon learned not to use the name autorack as it is used mostly by railfans.

		The CN autoracks cars were a big success and helped lead to the development of today's enclosed autoracks.
		The former CN auto-racks were augmented by new tri-level autoracks in 1976.
		The typical train varied from 30 to 64 cars, pulled by with two or three locomotives, and included 76' double-deck autoracks, a number of streamlined passenger cars including coaches, 85' dome cars, dining cars, sleepers, and a caboose necessitated by the string of auto carriers attatched to the rear of the train.

	Autoracks
		These enclosed autoracks are prevalent today, making up a large percentage of the freight cars roaming the rails today.
		The enclosed part of the autorack is owned by a specific railroad, for example, the UP We Will Deliver autoracks are owned by the Union Pacific Railroad.
		For now, I will list only autoracks that are part of the TTX pool, and work into the autoracks owned completly by a Railroad.

	Autorack Tri-Level Photos: Conrail Cyclopedia
		In order to avoid clearance problems, the flatcar is a special low-level design, which can be identified by the cut-outs in the side-sill to allow the trucks to swing out.
		Unlike other autoracks, which have the usual 33" wheels, these cars are equipped with smaller 28" wheels, which lower the car even more.
		This is the standard tri-level autorack painted in the older Trailer Train logo.

	Autorack Tri-Level Proto Info: Conrail Cyclopedia
		Actually, all autoracks are owned by TTX Company, which in turn is owned by various railroads across North America.
		Of course, the autoracks were still unprotected on the top and side, though only partially protected on the sides.
		Without going into a detailed history of TTX or autoracks, which can be found elsewhere as mentioned on the Autorack Reference page, I would like to briefly mention the development of autorack design from the 1960s until the present.

	RAILROAD.NET :: View topic - Autoracks for something other than cars...
		If you have a junk yard near the tracks some autoracks could be loaded with junk cars and hauled off to a factory to be melted down.
		There would be no need for a roof or sides on the autoracks since graffiti and vandals do not pose a significant threat to the cargo.
		The cars would have to be dragged or loaded on by a fork lift since the engine would be missing or dead.

	Comparing Red Caboose to MT autoracks. - TrainBoard.com
		Both MT and RC autoracks are very nicely done, but I would give the edge to the RC cars.
		The Con Cor cars are nice for the price, but when you put one next to a MT and the wife says "that one looks plasticy", while pointing at the CC car, I think even the three foot rule gets thrown out the window.
		I have both The MT autoracks and the RC ones and have found that the RC racks, for me at least, tend to track better.

	Autoracks and Auto CARriers
		While these cars would not be correct for an enclosed autorack, as hard as it will be to accurately see what cars are in there, these cars may fill the car giving a cool illusion and add extra weight at the same time.
		For those who have undecorated models, they can now be built (I can't be the only one........), here is a list of decals for autoracks.
		As mentioned previously, I have also developed autorack panels to represent the newer 6% reduced holes style panels.

		The purpose of this page is to help modelers accurately model 89-foot autoracks in both HO and N scales.
		It's important to note, that as a general rule, railroad autoracks are not placed on TTX Company flat cars in series or sequential order.
		Therefore the flat car numbers for any one railroad's autoracks are spread all over TTX's 89-foot flat car numbering spectrum.

	UP 20-2 Autoracks?
		First thing I notcied was that the first car after the 2 engines was huge, even compared to the autoracks that trailed it.
		If you look at most autoracks, they may wear the logo of one road or another, but the actual railroad car may wear "TTGX" or something similar (look down at the sill).
		A friend showed me a pic of what he thought I was talking about, an SP autorack that was 20'2" tall, but basically looked like the common auto rack with the side panels and such.

		I've been buying the MTL autoracks since they were realeased about 3 years ago.
