Your prison car awaits.

OMG, we're all going to be hauled off in trains to concentration camps! OMG

HaHa, thanks Jnana for your post and grounded reasoning!

Why the vent holes? Co2 would need to escape or the Trains would become coffins for the poor drivers, but the holes do not seem to be in the best place from an engineering perspective. Thoughts?

Peace of Mind,

Hi Dantheman62,

I'm with you on this one. There are people who have a very fertile and sinister imagination, and no matter what one says to some, they still stay with the conspiracy theory.

Tailor made cargo trains are nothing new. Road car transporters in the US would be for shorter runs from central inland ports to the dealer. It makes sense to stick lots of cars on trains and have them hauled over a larger distance.

If anyone can give evidence of these sort of trains having been used, or similar trains being used to carry large amounts (even small amounts) of prisoners, or even troops, I would be keen to know. Until then it remains a hypothesis and just as it could be a hypothesis that I have one of those wagons and make a three storey house out of one.

Best regards,

Steve

Never discount a fertile imagination.

Still, a bit of skepticism is healthy when it comes to stuff like this.
