Crazy to me that they ship them via rail….probably the cheapest route but I just never saw a rail car carrying cars…just doesn’t seem to happen on the east coast.
I grew up next to the main train line between Chicago and Omaha, and then to the original transcontinental tracks from omaha to the west coast. Now I live in another town next to the same tracks

It used to be the Chicago and northwestern. Now it's owned by union pacific.

I don't recall the exact number but it's somewhere between 75 and 100 trains a day. I've seen full or empty car carriers pretty much everyday since the 1970s.

Have you seen those pictures of new ford's in front of the rail car that has the big ford logo?

I have never seen one with ford, chevy,, dodge, or any other car company name painted on them.

They are totally enclosed these days. Back in the 1970s they were open, like the car transporter trucks. You could see the cars easy. Now it's hard to tell if they are loaded or empty.

Can we find out the highest ViN? Or just the highest ViN voluntarily shared on this site?

Yep, and at least 6900 of the retail 22 VINs were canceled and moved to 23s.
