ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A freight car includes main side and end frame beams. The end beams carry support structures. Wall structures are connected to the beams and extend downwardly therefrom. A floor structure is connected to the wall structures to provide a lower well arrangement for receiving a trailer therein. The wheels of a trailer rest on the floor of the well and the trailer hitch is supported on one of the support structures. Cars are linked to each other by trucks positioned at extreme ends of the cars so that each truck connects two adjacent cars. Each truck is fitted with an articulator connector which provides a common pivot point for adjacent cars. The invention reduces the overall height of a loaded freight car and uses the length available as efficiently as possible.
