Were RoadRailers ever run at the end of passenger trains ?
It seems that most Amtrak trains carried express boxcars and Roadrailers at the rear of their consists in the 1990’s. In the 1960’s, the C&O “Pere Marquettes” on the Chicago-Grand Rapids-Detroit routes carried the original version of the Roadrailer on the rear of their consists.
Amtrak carried Amtrak roadrailers in both the all white and silver and blue schemes.
They’re gone now.
Roadrailers were carried at the end of passenger trains. As said, the C & O practiced this in the 60s with the original RoadRailers (Trailer Railers I think they were called.) Amtrak did this as well, most were from the USPS. I don’t believe this is practiced anymore. Norfolk Southern and a few other railroads (BNSF and UP?) still have regular unit trains of RoadRailers.
