89' Tri-Level Closed Auto Rack

Part #MTL-111 00 140 New: Jan 2010 Road # ETTX 820261

This 89’ closed auto rack is painted yellow and blue with aluminum roof. The placards bear the Rock Island herald and the
car is lettered in both black and white. The ends have white excess height markings. It was built in 1968, rebuilt in July
1977, and runs on Barber® Roller Bearing trucks. ETTX 820261 carries a a tri-level auto rack painted in “The ROCK” blue
scheme. As was usual with tri-level closed auto racks, the flat cars were built by a car builder and the racks were built by an
outside agency. The rack is stenciled “When Empty Return to CONRAIL, Detroit, MI.” Tri-level racks continued to be used
predominantly for automobiles, while the bi-level racks were primarily used for light trucks and vans.
