OK, you pulled me out of the shadows with this one. <br /> <br />First let me introduce myself by saying I'm a railfan 'wannabe' and don't get much of an opportunity to railfan. but that is slowly changing. <br /> <br />Now for the reason of my post. I find the portion of this thread quite interesting since I work for the company that manufacturers the RoadRailers (they don't like us mentioning the company name in forums and chat rooms).[?] Back around '96 I beleive, we where approached to develop a boxcar design to mimic the AutoRailer. The prime aspects being the ability to close couple, like the RoadRailers, and be lightweight. We built 2 prototypes, and after what seamed like years of testing, turned over the designs to Thrall. Shortly after, I moved from the engineering dept to IS and was out of the loop, so I never knew how this materialized. I realize the cars in the link are not Thrall's, but it is still nice to see the result.
