Cartic
These vehicles look very similar to a British Rail wagon called a Cartic 4, which was an articulated double decker. Unfortunately, I don't know when they were introduced, but surely it's worth mentioning the name.--86.164.168.185 (talk) 01:02, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Platform vs Rack
The description of the picture was correct (re: 25Mar 2011 edit). The platform consists of the yellow bar and everything below it (the wheels, axles, bogies, and all the bits to keep it on the tracks), while the racks themselves are the red/silver parts which sit upon the platform. This allows, as in this picture, a rack owned by one company to ride on a platform owned by another. Prompt Critical (talk) 22:03, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Dead Links
The Following External links are dead (either 404 or no longer hosted):


 * "The Evolution of Automobile Traffic" — 2003 article from The National Railway Bulletin 68 (1).
 * "Johnstown America delivers first aluminum auto carriers to First Union Rail" — August 3, 2004 online article from Trains Magazine.
 * Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel — "North America's Longest Railway-Highway Tunnel."
 * Guide to Railcars

As I do not make changes, just notice errors during my casual perusals, anyone care to clean them up?

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... inadvertently selected CSD, there is a copyvio concern here but not to the level of CSD, please ignore --MadeYourReadThis (talk) 17:54, 3 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Where is the copyright violation? The article text here is way longer than the article at the link you cited.  If you look at the history for this article, I created it in 2004, nine years before the date shown on the link you cited.  I was not able to find any sentences that were duplicated on both as they stand right now. Slambo (Speak)  11:07, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, I see one paragraph in the Vert-A-Pac section that uses the same text. When was it added?  According to this diff, it was in the Wikipedia article by 2010, still three years before the Railway Age article.  Therefore, Railway Age copied text from Wikipedia, not the other way around.

 * The full report on this issue also shows the duplicated text in at most one paragraph and one additional phrase. Blanking the page is excessive in this case regardless of which article came first. Slambo (Speak)  11:49, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I've removed the copyvio tag per above.--agr (talk) 02:03, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
