A railroad bogie is disclosed. Such railroad bogie has a bogie body with a horizonal frame with front and rear ends and elongated sides therebetween. The bogie body also has an upstanding front plate and rear plate and side plates therebetween with lower ends secured to the frame to define an open top. A pair of front railroad wheels are provided as well as a pair of rear railroad wheels. The bogie has a pair of front support arms and a pair of rear support arms, the front and rear support arms being pivotally secured to the frame adjacent to the front and rear ends respectively for rotatable movement between a lower inoperative position and a raised operative position. The support arms are each in a generally A-shaped configuration with an intermediate cross beam and with a pivot rod at lower ends and with a transverse brace at upper ends. Each transverse brace is formed in an L-shaped configuration with extents for receiving a portion of a truck trailer to be supported and transported. A pneumatic cylinder for each pair of support arms is provided and has a lower end pivotally secured to a cross beam. The cylinder is adapted to raise and lower the transverse braces. Lastly provided are a pair of vertical posts having upper ends rotatably secured to the cross beam and free lower ends positionable in cups secured to the frame adjacent to central extents thereof.
