Why are all of these suggestions for preparations left out of such threads,


I left it out of my response because this is not my thread.
That, and, I don’t want to get hit with being *off topic*.
I’ve started threads on how to prepare.
Survival techniques.
In fact even a thread yesterday concerning people educating themselves in Emergency Medical Training - going as far as taking a EMT class, or making sure someone in the *family* takes a class.
Most of what I see here is people thinking about their stomachs (Stock up on Food Now!!!) - or arming their household (guns, ammo, etc).
Though both concerns have their points - IMO Emergency Medical Training is far lower on the list (that I see on ATS) than it should be.
I agree with you though on your point about how so many threads cry out the fear, but don't include anything to combat fear with.
And not just *Be Prepared* - but HOW to be prepared.

That is all that these "prison cars" amount up to. These cars are nothing but mere bilevel and tri-level autoracks built by Thrall-Trinity Inudstries in the late 1970s into the early 1980s. The wires and cables that the rest of the members are talking about are for restraining the auotmobiles whille in transport. The straps and what have you are used to keep the automobiles from causing any load shift which could overturn the autorack or racks. This is due to the current class of autoracks not being able to handle any type of curve above 40 degrees in radius. These cars do fall under the AAR Plate C or C-1 due to the excess height and loading gauges.
However, there are still railroad lines in this country that cannot handle the cars either due to height restrictions, width restrictions, of a combination of both of these two factors.

The current class of autoracks are not restricted from growing longer. With the advent of the articualted autorack, it is now possible to run autoracks where it was not possible to run autoracks before. The new Auto-Max carriers have now doubled the capacity that the older versions could handle. With the advent of the AUTOMAX by Greenbrier Corporation of Lake Oswego, Oregon, it is now possible to carry either sixteen automobiles of eight full size SUVs on one car. However still, some railroad lines are not even able to handle the new AUTOMAX carriers due to the same restrictions as to what restricted the older model enclosed bi-level and triple level autoracks.

Even I myself have been able to grab a shot or two of the older model autoracks. This is of a FERROMEX autorack that I shot back in Janurary of this year. This autorack is of the bi-level type, which is the lowest height of the autoracks that are currently built. However, this does not include the now extinct open-air bi-levels that were popular with the railroads prior to 1975.




Just my "unbiased" railfan opinion on this topic. Now I shall leave this alone.

The Train Cars in the OP are 'Auto-Rack' train cars.

They are used for hauling new automobiles cross country. European cars from Baltimore, Japanese Cars from Long Beach or Seattle. Here is a picture of an auto-rack I found on a site all the way in Alaska.



Don't be scared that these train cars are sitting empty. They are probably empty because the auto industry is getting beaten up.

They are not Prison cars, although I guess in dire circumstances could be used as such.

If these were used for cattle one sniff would tell which kind.I see no manure in the crevices here and there always is some.Cattle cars also have movable ramps for load/unloading.

Who cares about all the different purposes they might serve? The question is, why are they there. That is what you are trying to answer in this thread, correct?

Furthermore, the biggest leap you're making here is in assuming that because they're parked near the FEMA camp, they must be for the FEMA camp. You have no proof of that either way, thus, you're assuming.


That rail line stops at the camp. It's not like the rail line passes the camp, it ENDS there.

I'll have quite a few more pictures to share tomorrow.

Thank you, I was going to point out that these are vehicle transport cars. www.madre-de-dios.org...

Not prison cars, however pointing that out. These would be the perfect containers for en masse movement of people to "happy fun time camps"

Anywho, as badly as FEMA is managed, do you honestly think they would be able to run a prison camp? I mean seriously?
