What type of freight car is this?

Is this the same car as the Evans / NYC Auto-Loader or is it a different design?

Oops, wrong car, somehow overlooked the ‘freight’ in the title. Can’t help you there.

Kind of looks like a modified flat car to me.

I like to see them try to unload THAT. he he he.

Is that at least similar to the Athearn BB Autoloaders?

If it s and you can’t find any on E bay I have a few (3-5ish) somewhere that I got to build as straight flats (because I couldn’t find any flats) and would trade for flats… if/when I can find them…

As I remember, they unloaded those by driving the cars on the bottom straight off onto a loading/unloading ramp and then put metal ramps in place to drive the top ones off.
