ABSTRACT:
A railway car train comprises five car units. Each car unit has two end structures with a depressed well portion supported therebetween. A pair of side structures extend between the end structures and adjacent the well portion. A floor structure extends between lower portions of the side structures to form the bottom of the well portion. The floor structure includes an end beam extending transversely between lower portions of the side structures at the end of the well portion. The end structure includes a stub center sill connected to a shear plate member. A deflection member is secured to the inward end of the shear plate member. The deflection member includes a vertical wall portion and a sloping wall portion for deflecting containers into the well portion as they are loaded. The deflection member is connected with the shear plate member to form a transverse girder. The floor structure is secured to the girder by floor support members connected to the end beam adjacent the side structure and extending diagonally upwardly and inwardly therefrom to connect with the girder adjacent the center sill to beam loads in the lower portions of the side structures up to the girder and the center sill. Reinforcing plates extend between the end beam and the girder for additionally transferring loads therebetween. A flange member is fixedly connected with each reinforcement plate to rigidify it. The girder is reinforced with box structures and gussets to receive impacts and beam loads transversely.
