Yes, the article on auto racks is interesting. After reading the article, I thought I would share some insights in the prototype information section of the forum. I’ve been busy in recent days but hope to get to it soon.
i worked in the marketing department of Grand Trunk Western RR in the 1970’s . Much of GTW’s traffic was General Motors business .
I have saved only a few photos of many I once had. I had pictures of GM vehicles being loaded in Flint, Pontiac, and Lansing. The MR article has no pictures of auto racks being loaded and unloaded, and I plan to show some of that .
I was there at GTW when the rail industry changed from open auto racks to enclosed auto racks . I will share some of that too.
At the moment , I’m posting via IPhone. So I am limited without using the computer.

Very much enjoyed MRR Mag's Open Auto Rack article in the Nov. issue, especially photo #4 with those new "Fords" dressed in Mopar clothing.
