Johnstown America AVC aluminum auto carrier, Lettered for Amtrak Auto Train Version 2 with ARN. Thankx to Gerald McGinley for the Car Art!

Johnstown America Corporation AVC was built in July 2004 under lot 1400-972. Johnstown America delivered a major order of aluminum auto carriers to Canadian Pacific. Johnstown, Pennsylvania, October 18, 2004 - FreightCar America today announced it is currently delivering 375 AVC™ bi-levels to Canadian Pacific Railway.

Bill Wiles, vice president, automotive for Johnstown America said, noting the advantages of the AVC, --We are making headway into the multilevel market with a car we believe adds real value to vehicle transportation. Auto shippers now benefit from rust-free, higher, wider interiors and superior door-edge protection. Mechanical employees also favor the easily operated doors that automatically lock open and closed.---

The AVC is a significant advancement in railroad industry practice for auto transportation; it has a 50-year interchange life and operates transparently in the National Reload Pool.

---Rugged, yet 17% lighter than its steel counterpart, the AVC is designed for minimum out-of-service time, further reducing the cost of operation. A longer-term benefit is that through an AAR exemption, the aluminum superstructure never needs recertification,--- Wiles added.
