摘要：A low profile intermodal transport system including a tandem axle rail car truckwith frame supported by a torsionally strained elastomer bonded between concentrichubs, each hub integral with an oppositely extending horizontal torque arm, and all (ofabove) disposed concentrically of a roller bearing journal box; two centerplates per cartruck, a vertically extending kingpin centered in each, one centerplate shaft mounted, theother mounted on a pair of crankshafts with a torsionally resistant elastomer bondedlyinterconnecting the transversely extending crankpin (of each crankshaft) and theunderside of the centerplate thereover; a vertically engaged, draft resistant cradle,interchangeably supporting a sea container or the body of a highway trailer (of the samelength), interconnects the shaft mounted centerplate (at the kingpin) of one truck withthe adjacent crankshaft mounted centerplate of a separate rail car truck. At each end ofthe train and A. A.R. coupler on the end of the centerplate frame, supplants the shaftmounted centerplate, and the crank mounted centerplate is moved to the midlength ofthe wheel base. A significant economy over known rail transport systems results.
