    New car delivery by rail!

    I have a new Mustang coming in the next few weeks and was curious how the whole rail shipping process works. I know the plant has its rail yard that they initially load, then it must switch/unload at some point.

    I ran across this video of an unload....crazy how fast they drive them!

    You can see this in action on 61 just north of the 3m plant by south St. Paul. Check for rail rust spots

      I can't imagine they should be driving them that fast through those rail cars, oh yea and rail dust is fun to remove.
      Buying muscle/sports cars/regular cars/trucks, send me info, I pay cash or credit card if that makes you feel better!

          They must wreck a a lot of cars doing that.

          What mustang did you order? When do the new bodies come out?

            The rail road at the Ford plant in St. Paul hired fresh over the fence mexicans to load the brand new Rangers onto the rail cars, what you see in that video is totally normal.

            barack obama is president. You no longer need concern yourself with your own welfare. The government, as nanny state, will protect, provide and handle everything for you. All you need do is demand your "entitlements", continue to vote Democrat and watch Oprah.

            Vote democrat... because your daddy's union boss said so and millions on welfare are depending on it.

              I came across this while watching the first video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0H8TgWX-lY

              I'm impressed by the size of the ship and how efficient they are.
              When we got to my place, I already had a candle burning. It was by "Glade", which I think you pronounce like the singer Sade, because it is an exotic candle that smells just like real pine.

                  No big deal if you bash one up they're already throw away cars.
