And a Buick of some sort, a Park Avenue I guess.I always wondered what was in train cars that look like that. They go through Carlisle all the time. I guess now I know what they carry and where they're probably going

I am guessing that they were G6's, Buick LeSabres, Cadillac DHS, and Buick Park Ave., probably not many Vibes. All of these are made in metro Detroit, and the story said that the train was going from Detroit to Louisville, KY.

What a waste. They never even got to feel the rush of the wind through their grilles or the scuff of the pavement under their tires.

A few of them might have, depending on what kind of test they were selected for, I think. I know there are different mile tests on a stationary track, but I think a few do get a short road test. I could be wrong though.

Sweet! I'm gettin' a new car! With the luck I have, I always seem to get the car that falls off a truck, then the dealer fixes it up. LOL!

Might be a GM. Those bumps around the license plate combined with the taillamp and that CHMSL look very Sebring-ish.

Good eye.In addition, the trend seems to be the same manufacturer's cars in the same train car...i.e. G6/Buick, so I'd probably say you're right on this one...
