…Another load of large travel type trailers {most likely FEMA}, through Muncie again today…east bound on NS Frankfort line into Muncie but I dont’ know which way it went from there…They have 3 choices. That’s 3 now in several days that I have seen.
Those FEMA trains bring new meaning to TOFC.

…Hey that’s a good one.
Modelcar, they didn’t go north on the New Castle District by me. South to Cincinatti is the most logical direction.
Yes, I’d guess you are correct…I just was not in the area to see what direction in Muncie they went…
Mobile homes on flatcars??
…Yes, all painted white…and my guess about 30’ long. Looked like large travel trailers.
I seen those go through here a few days ago going east. I am in Golden Gate, IL. Its in Southern Illinois.

Probably housing for the Gulf area.
Yes, that’s what I’ve been assuming…and yes, those photos of Bret’s are showing the very same arrangement as has been going through here {Muncie}, even to the blocking under the trailers.
The trailers are temp housing for the hurricane affected area. Maybe Metra (Chicago) should donate one of their Winnebago’s to pull the FEMA trains - an all RV train!

…And yet another FEMA train this evening…coming in on NS, the Frankfort line…and I assume turn south in Muncie to head down the Rathole Div south…So you fellows south be on the lookout…another one on the way.
