I observed today for the first time, the newest style in autoracks. The ones I saw have apparently been parked for a week on the yard tracks at the former Dupont Chemical plant in, Antioch, CA.
Really a neat design and I can see where the builders have managed to squeeze in the capability to hold a few more autos.
Now the question. Am I to assume that a shipment of new autos is expected from Japan at the Benicia auto facility and these autoracks are for said arrival after the new year?
I cannot see any reason to park 20 or so brand new autoracks at the place where they are at now other than BNSF knows there is an inbound overseas arrival scheduled.
