A B S T R A C T A rail car comprises a movable loading floor for use with a pair of platforms of substantially equal height, the platforms being located on respective opposite longitudinal sides of the rail cars for loading and unloading of trailers, motor vans, passenger cars, etc. The rail car has a recessed chassis bottom between the wheeled support trucks thereof, on which is supported the movable loaded floor for carrying and shipping a trailer. The rotatable loading floor is rotatable from a first position in which the longitudinal axis of the rotatable loading floor coincides with the longitudinal axis of the rail car, to a second position in which the longitudinal axis of the rotatable floor is at a given angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the rail car and in which the ends of the rotatable loading floor overlie respective platforms on opposite sides of the rail car. When in the second position, the rail car loading floor is in a position for transferring a trailer relative the rail car by selectively rolling the trailer on or off of the rail car. Hydraulic rams are coupled between the chassis and the wheeled support trucks of the rail car and to the rotating mechanism for the rotatable loading floor for raising the chassis relative to the trucks of the rail car to a height such that the rotatable loading floor is above the height of the platforms before the rotating means can rotate the rotatable loading platform.
