A railroad freight car including a cargo well for carrying optionally either intermodal cargo containers or highway semitrailers has a side sill structure including a deep rectangular top chord and a depending web, supporting a well floor structure. The well floor structure includes reinforcing longitudinal and transverse channel members and horizontal top and bottom plates attached to the channels. Large circular openings, aligned with one another, are defined in both the top and bottom plates, and a peripheral ring of vertical material interconnects the margins of the top and bottom plates around the openings. A reinforcing walkway structure is located atop each side sill at each end of the cargo well. In a multi-unit car adjacent car units are supported on a single shared wheeled truck. A trailer hitch is carried on a body bolster of one of the adjacent units to support the front end of trailer whose wheels rest on the floor of the cargo well of the other of the adjacent units, so that a trailer otherwise too long can be carried on the multi-unit car.

Cette invention concerne un wagon poche adapté au transport ferroviaire de conteneurs intermodaux ou de semi-remorques routières. Il comprend un longeron comportant une large semelle supérieure et une âme qui supporte le plancher de la poche. Ce plancher est formé de profilés de renfort longitudinaux et transversaux et de tôles horizontales supérieures et inférieures fixées aux profilés. De grandes ouvertures circulaires alignées sont ménagées dans les tôles supérieures et inférieures qui sont reliées en périphérie des ouvertures par une anneau à parois verticales. Un passerelle formant renfort est aménagée au-dessus de chaque longeron aux deux extrémités de la poche du wagon. Dans une rame unitaire, les wagons adjacents partagent un même bogie. Un point d'ancrage d'attelage de semi-remorque est prévu sur la traverse de caisse de l'un deux wagons adjacents pour supporter l'extrémité avant de la semi-remorque portée par le wagon adjacent. Cette dispostion permet de transporter des semi-remorques normalement trop longues pour une rame unitaire.
