Why all this talk about “specially” fitted cargo containers to ship human cargo? History shows that human (a soft pink fleshy type) cargo transports easily in existing containers; auto (as seen here), cattle cars… ‘There’s no need to chain down these weak pink critters. Do they chain down 2000# cattle or 800# pig in transport?

The logo was BNSF. CSX was the next car after that, then Kansas City Southern, nothing special here. Just autorack cars. Really fucking big articulated ones.

That has to be the biggest number of trains I’ve seen EVER! I lived in Montana along the Union Pacific line and never did I see such a great number connected together.

It’s the Union Pacific logo. Been in use forever.

Nothing to see here, people, move along..

Yes, the logo of Norfolk Southern Railway. The racks are owned by the railroads, while the flat cars the racks are mounted to are owned by TTX corp, a rail equipment management company owned by the Association of American Railroads.

The whole train was auto transport cars. The colors at the top draw attention that they are over-height cars. Notice the end doors, some are notched for two-level, or three-level decks for loading autos. The side panels on the regular cars have holes in them; the “windows” in the articulated cars are just design.

Just as passenger ships can be converted to troop carriers, the auto-max railcar can be converted to a prisoners transport. Why the windows?

These raill cars can be easily used to transport civil disobedients to our existing concentration camps if and when martial law in enacted.

I think they are for martial law too. I live in AZ and this scares the shiz out of me!

Does anyone notice something on the side of the last car? Maybe I’m nuts, but I’m seeing something and I just want to know if anyone else is seeing this….maybe my brain is what they call matrixing….i cant tell.

Not sure about the ones with the little window like opening but the others were designed to carry cars from auto processing plants- like in Jax fla, colonels island Ga and other points of entery to usa for rail head movement.

I know they usually are there anywhere form midnight til 3 am when the southwest chief passes by. They line up along the tracks with the headlights facing out and searchlights on so you can’t see what’s really passing by but you can hear the shackles inside jingling around
