Ran across this on YouTube. It's probably the rail transfer facility where my MME will arrive, just south of Denver. Was just curious how the rail operation works.

Very interesting

I work for the railroad and we get Ford vehicles at our yard. There’s a company that drives the cars out of the auto rail cars on a ramp and they park them in the lot. Then trucks come in and out to get whatever vehicles they were assigned to pick up.
