ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for tying down a load on a railcar having a floor extending between opposed side sills. At each one of a plurality of intervals spaced along the railcar a belt anchor is recessed beneath the floor, adjacent and inwardly of one of the side sills. A first aperture is provided in the floor, above the belt anchor. A belt router is also recessed beneath the floor, adjacent and inwardly of the opposite side sill and at a point transversely opposite the belt anchor. A second aperture is provided in the floor, above the belt router. A belt winder is mounted on the opposite side sill, in alignment with the belt anchor and the belt router. One end of a belt is fixed to the belt anchor, with the belt's opposite end is passed through the first aperture, over the load, through the second aperture, through the belt router and through a third aperture in the opposite side sill for engagement and tensioning of the belt by the belt winder. Advantageously, for each adjacent pair of the aforesaid intervals, the belt anchor, the belt router and the belt winder are reversed in position relative to the side sills.
