ABSTRACT:
A gondola car loader includes a chassis moveable along the top edges of adjacent gondola cars in a direction of the railroad track on which the cars are located. Four beams, pivotably mounted at their centers to the chassis, each carry wheels at both ends thereof for supporting the chassis on the cars. The beams are adapted to be pivoted to selectively engage the wheels with the top edges of the sides of the gondola cars, thereby facilitating motion of the chassis across the gaps between adjacent cars.
