Love it man. Very good video. Does anyone make the auto racks for Amtrak in HO scale?

[WhistlepostWP]

@BLKdurangoTRAINhorns I wish they did...I haven't seen any :(

How fast was that going? With all those cars and auto-racks and stuff, I'm guessing that it wasn't going faster than 45 on the bridge shot.

[WhistlepostWP]

@Roboman2121 yeah he probably doing around that speed in that shot. The train can get up to 70mph elsewhere on the line.

Id like more details about the a-t operation:

what was the shed used for (that the cars were going thru)?

how long do psgrs have to wait for their cars?

how many cars each at a dock for loading/unloading?

do amtrak crews do the switching?
