The 1st and 4th picture are of the model while the last picture is of a gathering of corrugated auto carriers in the "Pig's Eye" freight yard. Other pictures show Canadian Pacific locomotives attached to corrugated auto racks. The number of corrugated autorack cars in a train can be used as a gauge of the health of the economy. While I was in Brunswick MD there is a parking lot for MARK commuter trains to Washington DC and a 17 line switching yard with 2 through lines on the far side and 2 through lined on the near side. These 4 through lines condensed down to 2 through lines at the end of the switch yard toward Washington DC. I would notice that there were 2 or more trains of 89 or so autoracks late evening and late night and often 1 in the morning. During the day these trains would make their way as empties back through Brunswick to Cumberland and on to Chicago
