ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A railroad car for transporting vehicles com- prising a first deck having side sills; a side wall along each side of the car; each side wall including columns connected to each of the side sills; a second deck horizontally located above the first deck and con- nected to the columns; the second deck having a hinged section joined to each opposing end of a central portion, connected to the columns, to pivot about a horizontal axis; each hinged section being vertically pivotal and having side edges; each end of the car having a rotatable horizontal shaft extending laterally through the car and terminating in first and second ends adjacent respective side sills; a crank connector on the shaft first and second ends to apply torque to the shaft to rotate it in one direction and then in a second but opposite direction; each end of the car having an axially displaceable member, such as a linear actuator, along each side wall operatively engaging the shaft so that rotation of the shaft in one direction axially mechanically extends the displaceable member and raises the second deck hinged section and rotation of the shaft in a second but opposite direction mechanically retracts the displaceable member and lowers the second deck hinged section; and each of the axially displaceable members having an upper end connected to a respective second deck side edge to raise and lower the hinged deck when the axially displaceable member is extended and retracted.
