General McChrystal comes to mind, one heck of a soldier now lost to another hissy fit by Obama....I hope the following it true!
When former U.S. Military commander in Afghanistan , Stanley McChrystal, was called into the Oval Office by Barack Obama, he knew things weren't going to go well when the President accused him of not supporting him in his political role as President.
"It's not my job to support you as a politician, Mr. President, it's my job to support you as Commander-in-Chief," McChrystal replied, and he handed Obama his resignation.
Not satisfied with accepting McChrystal's resignation the President made a cheap parting shot: "I bet when I die you'll be happy to pee on my grave."
The General saluted. "Mr. President, I always told myself after leaving the Army I'd never stand in line again."
I just sent Union Pacific a message via their Face Book page asking the intended cargo/function of these cars. If I disappear, please tell my family I love them.
They will need all of them when the “illegals round up” commences. This is wild stuff...
Further to the message to Union Pacific.

Can someone there please advise me the intended cargo/function of the rail cars shown in the accompanying photos? Thanks.
Hi Richard,
That is an AutoMax automotive rack.
You can check out the different varieties here: https://www.up.com/customers/all/equipment/descriptions/auto-racks/index.htm
Thanks for reaching out!

Alison, These are distinctly different from the autoracks built by THRALL CAR’s Winder, Georgia plant. I supplied many of the overhead cranes in Winder (photo attached of some of the gantries). What appear to be spaced ventilation openings in the sides and the accordian structure between car pairs have led to speculation that the are, in fact portable prison facilities being kept ready to incarcerate — and, some, believe, execute en-route — those involved in civil unrest and riots should order break down here. That would make these transports very akin to the cattle cars the Nazi used in transporting Jews and others to the camps. Can you send me a photo showing THESE cars being used in a vehicle transportation application?
It would go a long way toward improving UP’s perception by some members of the public.
I’ll feel a hell of a lot better when I see the ends of these things opened up and cars, trucks and SUVs being driven into them.
If UP CANNOT send some of those images, we may be in worse trouble than we thought.
There’s an image at the link showing the THRALL style cars being loaded.

I’ll get back as soon as UP sends me the shots I requested.
Wait, don’t disappear, I don’t even know who your family is.
Remember, if they come for us, they’ll be mean sons of guns, we just have to have a bibical righteous fury in our guts and unleash at appropriate times.

LOL!
I believe that I and a certain Michigan newscaster would agree with that assessment.
I’ve seen them twice, perhaps on different months; not recently though.
.
Approximently how many?
I wasn’t paying close attention, but perhaps four or five both times.
