RAIL CAR BRIDGE PLATE SECUREMENT ASSEMBLY ABSTRACT OF DISCLOSURE An assembly for securing a standard bridge plate to the upper deck of a railroad car arranged to carry automobiles on at least two levels, said railroad cars having a track member from which a sliding door is hung positioned adjacent the edge of the deck at the end of the railroad car comprises a fixed leaf secured to the surface of the deck and spaced gudgeons mounted to an end of said fixed leaf along the side edges of the leaf and preferably entirely below the surface of the deck. A rotating leaf has spaced gudgeons mounted thereto for being positioned between the spaced gudgeons secured to the fixed leaf. Pins pass through the gudgeons and secure the leaves together such that the rotating leaf may be turned back onto the surface of the deck or may be rotated to bridge the track member from which the door is hung. The rotating leaf has an offset therein so that a portion of said rotating leaf extending away from the deck and beyond the track member is downwardly of the top of said track member. Spaced gudgeons are mounted to the face of the portion of the rotating leaf extending away from the deck and are arranged for receipt of a pin for securing the standard bridge plate.
