I once saw an Autorack smack another on a switch. The moving autorack was on the diverging track, and about the middle of that car caught the non-moving car on the end. The moving car ended up tilting on it's one side, eventually losing stability, and smacked itself onto the corner of a brick building. Autoracks at the time didn't have the full metal shroud that is mandatory, so the vehicle damage was very appearant.

In total there were 4 or 5 autoracks on their sides. I think the switch crew had been going about jogging speed (10mph) when it happened.
