ABSTRACT:
A truck-train system uses a railway dolly or bogie to support the front end of one truck-trailer and the rear end of another truck-trailer. A pair of truck-trailer support members are pivotally connected to the railway dolly. They are provided with a fixed incline ramp to raise and guide the truck-trailer onto the respective support member. The railway dolly is provided with a standard railway compressed air braking system with an air hose retrieving device to store the air hose. The railway dolly is also provided with standard railway couplers at each end. These couplers are adapted to retract or vertically rotate to a position below the surface of the incline planes.
