NM...they're auto transport cars...

It looks to me like one of those bi-level/tri-level autoracks that Johnstown-America has built for various companies. Other than that, it is an
autorack.
Here's the image that I have found.

My mistake!
CyberSeal, those cars are actually Greenbrier/Gunderson built AUTOMAX. What the AUTOMAX is, it is two 89 foot autoracks stuck together with an axle
set in the middle to help the car get around tight curves. The cars can hold anywhere from sixteen automobiles to eight full size Sport Utility
Vehicles.

Ok I believe someone said in an earlier post why not just ship these people by bus or truck. This is simple to answer.
-What would you think if you were driving down the highway and a semitruck full of people pulled up next to you (this is based on the cattle trailers
having open grated sides), or one pulled up next to you and you heard banging and screaming coming from the inside.
-Same goes for a bus full of detained people, you would see them screaming and trying to escape.
-The amount of trucks or buses that would have to be used would be astronomical to haul all these people. A convoy of buses or trucks miles long
would spark alot of interest in more people than just us that know about whats happening.
-These trucks/buses would have to travel during darkness to maximize the potential for not being uncovered as detention camp haulers
By rail however, would be much simpler.
-Rails go mostly through open area far from the watchful eyes of people.
- You could ship many people in one railcar.
-You can hook up boxcars to be hauled that reach over a mile or more long, thats alot of people in one train.
-Trains full of detainees could be hauled 24/7 365 with a miniscules chance of being uncovered as detention camp trains.
-These detention camps have been said to have large offramps with tracks laid next to them.
-Special made railcars, while they may exist dont necesarilly have to exist.
-They could just take normal boxcars and cram as many people into them as possible to fit.
-There will be no need to shackle them down if they are under armed guard while the loading and unloading process are happening.
-Most people have an extreme fear of death, when they have a gun pointed at them they are not likely to try to escape or do anything stupid, and those
few that do will be made an example out of to further enstill fear in the others.
In conclusion, rail is the best method for transport in many aspects and would not honestly require specially made boxcars to do the transporting
