Super long auto-rack train with a DPU leaves the yard. Are they preparing for the BIG U.A.W strike?

Nice job as always!

Excellent video ❤

Brilliant Video Mr True Friend 😎

I was watching the rail cam where I live and seen a doubled-up auto racks come through town last night.

I'm not certain how big the shortage of autorack cars is anymore but I'm pretty certain they'll keep moving the finished Autos to the dealerships. The places that load and unload them are not usually UAW and are operated by separate firms. What you'll see however is any switching inside the plant where the manufacturing is done will most likely be railroad management people because the crews will not cross the picket lines. Then comes the fun part start lining up storage areas to Stage these Auto racks and truck frame cars and older parts Hi Cube cars so they can get back in service relatively quickly. This may really put a dent in the Roadrailer.

Could be, or just PSR at its finest. Excellent catches nonetheless.👍🏼

All 7 now 6 Class 1 autoracks.

been ALOT of autoracks going down the track behind my house, but all are empty

Sept 14 (Reuters) - A first-ever simultaneous strike at the Detroit Three carmakers by the United Auto Workers grew all but certain on Thursday with little progress reported in talks hours before a contract deadline expires. The union - which represents 146,000 U.S. auto workers - is asking for 40% pay raises through September 2027 and major improvements in benefits as part of what it calls "audacious" demands. The UAW has outlined plans for a series of strikes targeting individual, undisclosed U.S. auto plants if agreements are not reached by 11:59 pm ET Thursday, rather than a full walkout. The union plans to disclose the initial plants during a 10 p.m. ET event.

Big unit auto rack with mid helper DPU foreign/run-through power and manifest booking, filmed NS mixed manifest 14Z yesterday in Rural Retreat VA!🛤🚂

It is most likely PSR. Though, NS has liked to run big rack trains for a long time. My biggest pre PSR was 12,500 ft. of empties and one engine. I always love the one engine wonders.
