ABSTRACT:
This invention is a railway car and system to carry automobiles and load and unload them by drivers driving under a bridge-like opening to ramps through the car and centering the auto parallel to and under the car. A ramp or lift takes the auto up to floor level. The auto is driven, pulled or pushed to storage spaces on the train including up ramps which are hinged at the top and let down to tale vehicles between one or more upper levels or to tilt park the vehicle on the ramp. These ramps are pulled up with a vehicle chocked thereto to get the maximum practical number of vehicles on the railway car. The rail car can be loaded while stationary or while moving along an area paved flush with the rails.
