===Latest innovations=== In 2004, [[Canadian National Railway|Canadian National]] was as the forefront of autorack technology again, as it had been in the 1950s by using a more light-weight material, [[aluminium|aluminum]]. The new cars, built by [[Johnstown America Corporation]] beginning in December 2004, are brand named ''AVC'', an acronym for ''Aluminum Vehicle Carrier''. 200 new aluminum autoracks promise a softer ride, a wider interior, superior door-edge protection, and a rust-free interior from older steel versions. [[Canadian Pacific Railway]] has ordered 375 of these new cars as well. The new cars built for [[Amtrak]] [[Auto Train (Amtrak)|Auto Train]] service differ from those built for CN and CP; the Amtrak cars are three inches shorter in height, and use solid side panels instead of the perforated panels operated in freight service.
