Johnstown America AVC aluminum auto carrier CNA

Johnstown America AVC aluminum auto carrier, Lettered for Canadian National with ARN.

Johnstown America Corporation AVC was built in July 2004 under lot 1400-972. Johnstown America delivered a major order of aluminum auto carriers to Canadian Pacific. Johnstown, Pennsylvania, October 18, 2004 - FreightCar America today announced it is currently delivering 375 AVC™ bi-levels to Canadian Pacific Railway.

Bill Wiles, vice president, automotive for Johnstown America said, noting the advantages of the AVC, --We are making headway into the multilevel market with a car we believe adds real value to vehicle transportation. Auto shippers now benefit from rust-free, higher, wider interiors and superior door-edge protection. Mechanical employees also favor the easily operated doors that automatically lock open and closed.---

The AVC is a significant advancement in railroad industry practice for auto transportation; it has a 50-year interchange life and operates transparently in the National Reload Pool.

---Rugged, yet 17% lighter than its steel counterpart, the AVC is designed for minimum out-of-service time, further reducing the cost of operation. A longer-term benefit is that through an AAR exemption, the aluminum superstructure never needs recertification,--- Wiles added.
