QUOTE: Originally posted by spbed Run by the BNSF. Have not seen them in months. Have they been pulled from service for defects? When I saw them they looked very new to me. Saw them last year at Colton & in the Cajon Pass as well as on the Ft. Madison webcam. [?]
I'm back!

QUOTE: Originally posted by Big_Boy_4005 Do you mean like the one in the foreground in this photo? I don't think I have ever seen a real one in service. By the way, these are O scale.
QUOTE: Originally posted by espeefoamer Do you mean the two unit articulated Auto Max cars?I have also seen these lettered for CSX and KCS.I haven't seen these for quite some time,either.
QUOTE: Originally posted by bigchief the tallest ones are the 20 foot 2 inchers and they seem to have special routes for clearance reasons. the all yellow articulated ones are very common around indy and especially around cincy. those white bn or csx kcs auto maxes were goin in and out of honda in marysville alot but i haven't seen those but i may be missing em out there
QUOTE: Originally posted by bigchief i'm not sure but 20'2" is the tallest normal stuff we run auto racks and double stacks other than that it would be a high and wide. we do have to clearance buearu paper work to move em
QUOTE: Originally posted by CSSHEGEWISCH Just yesterday I noticed KCS articulated Auto-Maxes on the IHB at 79th St, about 2 miles south of Argo. Gibson Yard on the IHB serves as an auto-rack hub, so they aren't too unusual out here.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Glen Ellyn I see them when ever I see a car carrying train.
