ABSTRACT:
A railway car (10) for transporting containers of various lengths and widths, which are shiftable longitudinally, laterally, or both, within the car is provided. To restrain the various size containers a plurality of openings (52, 52', 54, 54', 56, 56', 58, 58', 60, 60', 62, 62') are formed in the floor (50) of the car. The location of the openings is determined by the lengths and widths of the various containers to be carried by the car. A plurality of restraining pins (64, 66, 68, 70) automatically extend up into the floor (50) of the car through the openings in register with the pins. The containers include corner units (80) at each bottom corner thereof with corner openings therein in which a restraining pin is received. The container is loaded onto the car, and the pins are located in container openings corresponding to the corners of a particular length the width of container to be transported, and pins located beneath the respective openings in the corner unit extend upwardly and are received in their respective openings and any pin not in register with an opening, but covered by the corner unit or the container, is automatically depressed by the bottom of the corner unit.
