With several thousand auto carriers built for nearly all North American Class One railroads, the Greenbrier/Gunderson Multi-Max has become the premier auto carrier design of the 21st century. Many of these cars wear colorful paint schemes and feature large logos which help them stand out alongside older autorack designs.
