Camaros loaded in Detroit

FYI...
A friend of mine works for the rail yard in the Detroit area and says they have been loading 20-50 Camaros per day.
I asked him about the V-6, manual cars, and said he hasn't seen any.
He went down the line of cars today and they were ALL SS cars!

Lets do some math. The first 2000+ cars had to be sent to Michigan to be reworked. They are only loading 20-50 per day? That will take.......over a month to ship all of those cars! Hopefully they are loading more than 50 per day. Ask your friend how many are in the yard. I was told today that my was sent to the rail yard on 4/23.

Remember this is just ONE yard, these come in on trucks then get loaded onto trains.
There are a number of yards around the Detroit area, so it is hard to say how many are out there.
He did say this afternoon the trucks were starting to ROLL in, so there might be an influx of them. Plus he is only one shift, they are on two shifts I believe.
