Autoracks are used to transport new vehicles from factories to automotive distributors, and to transport passengers' vehicles in car shuttles and motorail services, such as Amtrak's ''Auto Train'' route.

These modifications helped, but the demand for new automobiles outpaced the railroads' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
