ABSTRACT:
The present invention teaches an intermodal rail-highway transport system for trailer-containers, in which unequalled economy measured in tons per mile per hour per dollar is achieved. Damage-free shipments with reduced loads per axle and unrestricted main line clearances through tunnels are facilitated with a system that utilizes an integral universal system interchange where trailer-containers, whose adjacent ends are supported torsion-free for linehaul via upstanding kingpins integral with centerplates suspended in tandem axle rail support trucks, are assembled into or broken from train-formation configurations by means of elevating shuttle means described in detail below.
