Good question.
I know that auto-rack traffic is heaviest at the manufacturing plants, but I don't know where, and how, motor vehicles are transferred from the rail cars to trucks for delivery to dealerships. I haven't yet seen a dealership that has rail service, everything arrives by truck.

They use a mixing pool where the cars are off loaded from auto racks assigned storage row and slot number(parking space) and they are parked there until needed..Then they are loaded onto truck auto carriers and delivered to the dealer however,these transports may have 2 or more deliveries per trailer..
