This list is a work-in-progress -- and always will be, as these cars move about from one owner to the next. The "types" listed show their use on the auto-train, regardless of how the cars were originally configured when built. Any additions/corrections or photographs (past or present) you'd like to contribute -- please email Todd.

LOCOMOTIVES
Auto-Train U36B 4000 Big Red

A U36B built by GE 11/1971, builder's number 38031. Lettered "BIG RED" on the sides of the cab - the SCL nickname for the auto-train. The nickname originated with former SCL employee Arnie Olson who became auto-train's VP of Operations -- it referred to the locomotives' big red noses. All of the auto-train U36Bs had Blomberg trucks. They could sometimes be seen in freight service with the SCL and L&N, apparently on loan to work off debt.

Caboose
Originally a 40' boxcar that FEC turned into a bay-window caboose (numbered 801) before auto-train added the cupola on top and eliminated the bay-windows from the sides. Please email if you have info or photos.
Auto-Train 91 Caboose
Originally a 40' boxcar that FEC turned into a bay-window caboose (numbered 804) before auto-train added the cupola on top and eliminated the bay-windows from the sides. In the early days, the auto-train ran with the passenger cars at the rear of the train and flagmen rode in the passenger cars. Later, the passenger cars were moved ahead of the auto-carriers for the comfort of passengers (less bumping/slack action) and this resulted in the need for cabooses. Cabooses were also needed in the late 1970s when the train got so popular -- and so long -- that it was split into two sections, one consisting of passenger cars only, followed five minutes later by one consisting of auto-carriers only. Additionally, some bi-level auto carriers were modified to have crew quarters, including caboose-like cupolas on top, thus eliminating the need for a separate caboose.
