This 89’ tri-level closed auto rack is painted red with blue placards and aluminum roof. Logos and lettering are in white; Excess Height message is in black. It was built in 1976, serviced in December 1978 and runs on Barber® Roller Bearing trucks. The first auto racks had exposed sides that led to vehicle damage from vandalism and weather; in the early 1970s the railroads started to enclose them with steel mesh. Tri-level racks continued to be used predominantly for automobiles, while the bi-level racks were primarily used for light trucks and vans. Auto Racks are one of the most commonly seen cars on the railroads today.
