autotrein


Explanation:
Het is gewoon een trein waarop auto's opgeladen worden. Via de onderstaande link kun je een fraaie filmpjes bekijken over het afladen van auto's van de Autotrain. Gek. Je verwacht dan "cartrain".

It is where it all begins. The owner of the car hands the keys to an Amtrak employee, loads his luggage onto a cart and walks to the train across the hall.
It is that easy!!!
