CARS POPPING OUT LOADING/ UNLOADING Videos 1. HONDA’S AUTO – MAX 22. 2. INDIAN RAILWAYS’- BCACBM AUTO- RAKE at NIVANDA (NDV)/near BANGALURU, SW Rly. 24 -09 -2016 AUTORACKS- POSSIBILITIES IN INDIA 6

ACTION PACKED SCENARIO - NARR I. • Generally only five to eight cars are loaded in a single string. • A portable ramp is rolled up to the end of the string. • At some auto facilities, there are fixed ramps at the ends of tracks (but this is less common). • The ramp levels are either fixed (for tri-levels or bilevels) or can be adjusted hydraulically. • the doors are opened and folding deck plates are laid down between the cars. 24 -09 -2016 AUTORACKS- POSSIBILITIES IN INDIA 7

ACTION PACKED SCENARIO NARR II. • Then a highly paid skilled driver with nerves strung like a piano wire runs to the auto, • starts it, • revves the gas several times to make sure the tachometer can go past the red line, • races around to the ramp, • zooms up it, • drives to the far end in the string • brakes to a halt in a cloud of smoke, • wiggles out the end door, • runs back to the car park 24 -09 -2016 AUTORACKS- POSSIBILITIES IN INDIA 8

ACTION PACKED SCENARIO III. • to start again, • narrowly escaping being flattened by the former open-wheel champion in the next car. • Another crew, or sometimes the same as the driver, - uses tie down straps or chocks to lash the auto to the deck. 24 -09 -2016 AUTORACKS- POSSIBILITIES IN INDIA 9

Autorack – HISTORY & INNOVATIONS i. Early 20 th century in boxcars: - Two to four automobiles ii. Susequent modifications : - longer boxcars, -larger sliding double side doors at one end, -doors located on the boxcar ends. 24 -09 -2016 AUTORACKS- POSSIBILITIES IN INDIA 10

Autorack – HISTORY & INNOVATIONS i. In 1923, the Grand Trunk Western Railroad: - 61 -foot (18. 59 m)-long wood-frame flat cars -collapsible frames for double-deck operation ii. In 1940 s to 1950 s: -some railroads developed automobile-loading assemblies - to lift one or more automobiles above other in a boxcar 24 -09 -2016 AUTORACKS- POSSIBILITIES IN INDIA 11

Autorack – HISTORY & INNOVATIONS i. In U. S. , most Circuses traveled by rail ii. Circuses were major haulers of wheeled vehicles: - on flat cars - usually behind their own passenger cars iii. Usually, one train for people - A second train for vehicles / freight iv. The Circus solution to loading vehicles: -used a string of flatcars. - a temp ramp at the end of the flatcars - temp bridge plates over the gaps bet flatcars v. Vehicles were driven or towed up onto one car and then over the train v. This became known as “Circus Style" loading 24 -09 -2016 AUTORACKS- POSSIBILITIES IN INDIA 12

Autorack – HISTORY & INNOVATIONS i. Autorack and flat car length quickly grew to - 87 feet (26. 52 m) - 89 feet (27. 13 m) - equal to then average railroad passenger car ii. Longer cars ? - interchange service problem due to clearance on curves iii. Yet, U. S. Railroads could still do better -( way back)! 24 -09 -2016 AUTORACKS- POSSIBILITIES IN INDIA 13

Autorack – HISTORY & INNOVATIONS i. A major problem: - protection from theft, vandalism, severe weather ii. Individual railroads began installing: - mesh side screen / solid panels late 1960 s -early 1970 s new racks built with side panels. iii. Vandals could still gain access to the automobiles iv. In 1973 , the first fully enclosed racks with continuous side panels, end doors, and roofs were developed. - But not all Autoracks until mid -1980 s -Bridges and Tunnel clearances? -Modified progressively 24 -09 -2016 AUTORACKS- POSSIBILITIES IN INDIA 14

Designed to carry 12 high end Oldsmobile, Buick, and Cadillac models in four removable fully enclosed tri-level containers on 89 -foot flat car. First production entered service in 1971. Withdrawn from service at - end of the 1976 24 -09 -2016 AUTORACKS- POSSIBILITIES IN INDIA 19

Autorack – HISTORY & INNOVATIONS • • • Trailer Train Company (TTX) ( Business Strategy) Although advantageous , in the 1960 s, most North American railroads were reluctant to invest in specially built equipment. The Trailer Train Company, (Pennsylvania Railroad and the Norfolk and Western Railway in 1955) stepped in to ease the railroads' financial burden a bit. Trailer Train purchased the flat cars from the rail car manufacturers, Railroads purchased the racks Racks were installed flat cars and operated by Railroads 24 -09 -2016 AUTORACKS- POSSIBILITIES IN INDIA 20

Autorack – HISTORY & INNOVATIONS Ensuing Success • This arrangement worked so well that nearly every autorack operating in the US was owned by a railroad. • Trailer Train became TTX Company in 1991; • Since then many railroads have themselves purchased the flat cars on which the racks were installed • TTX expanded into purchasing and leasing out other railroad rolling stock. • The development of enclosed autoracks also helped make several other innovative services work well. 24 -09 -2016 AUTORACKS- POSSIBILITIES IN INDIA 21
