Their name? AVC (clever, huh?). CP has 375 of them, and CN 200 (so far, no takers among the U.S.-headquartered railroads that I'm aware of). <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />A couple of months ago I saw an entire long train of these down near the city of Pittburgh somewhere. Looked pretty neat, and almost blindingly shiny, and someone commented at the time that they were just coming out of Johnstown.... <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />You've got to be careful when you ride those new aluminum racks. <br />CP put out a bulletin stating that if you ride the side ladders while the end doors are open, you can end up getting squished. <br /> <br />They sure are neat in person, I've seen a number of them now, all clean and new, they really look futuristic....I'm sure they'll only be like that for a few more months.
