  You still see a lot of these in Montreal. Only they're bringing cars in (from Ontario), not shipping 'em out.

  GM still has a plant in Oshawa that makes Impalas (if I recall right)

  Do the sides come up? How do they load cars on to them? Are they using any other type of car to ship cars, cause I think I've seen them on some other car.

  The ends of the cars have doors that open up. They drive the cars through the entire length of the train and use adjustable ramps to drive them onto the train. The ramps adjust because they have either 2 or 3 levels. (3 levels for cars and 2 for tall trucks and vans.)

  That is awesome. It almost looks like the Caravan lost contact on its back wheels.
