ABSTRACT:
The railcar includes a low profile skeletal frame having a depressed midsection with supporting surfaces extending therefrom and a four point truck suspension. Vertical loads are applied to the frame so that opposed bending moments are established with respect to one or both pairs of suspension load support points. The railcar is capable of transporting conventional trailers, semi-trailers or containers through existing tunnel clearances.
