RE: amtrak road railers

Yeah, first you need the couplermate and then the roadrailer cars... But what annoys me, is that the fred light at the end seems to be far of the actual wall of the car...

RE: amtrak road railers

In reality you would never place any cars behind the roadrailers. Because of the fragility of the trailers, which are even if they are specially strengthened still road vehicles, roadrailers would always form the end of a train. Otherwise, all in-train forces would tear the trailers apart.So you either use them in unit consists or at the end of the train. For more information visit the Wabash National Inc. website. They are the inventors and producers of the Roadrailer System.
