Two-Level Auto Carrier Car
Auto carrier railcars, commonly known as autoracks, are engineered specifically to transport new automobiles from manufacturing plants to regional distribution hubs. Featuring two open decks and a wide loading ramp at the end, this specialized car allows vehicles to be driven directly onto the lower and upper platforms. The open-deck design maximizes space and streamlines vehicle loading operations.
Facts About Auto Carrier Rail Cars
Before autoracks were developed in the mid-twentieth century, automobiles had to be loaded into standard boxcars four at a time using ramps and wooden blocks. Modern multi-level auto carriers can hold up to fifteen or eighteen passenger cars depending on whether the car has two or three internal decks. Rail transport is one of the safest and most fuel-efficient ways to move large fleets of new automobiles long distances.
