A fully protective multi-unit railroad freight car for carrying motor vehicles on two or three levels with the lowest level being in a cargo well between a pair of deep side sills. A pair of vehicle-carrying decks are adjustable in height and are counterbalanced against each other during adjustment of their locations. A roof structure is light in weight and constructed of corrugated sheet metal with a self-supporting central portion. The ends of the car are equipped with three-panel folding doors, and a flexible diaphragm closes the space between articulated adjacent car units supported by a shared truck. A modular brake operating system is mounted on the car body. A hinge for a bridge for use in loading the car is adjustable to a stowage position in an edge of a deck.

Cette invention concerne une rame unitaire de wagons fermés servant au transport de véhicules sur deux ou trois niveaux, le premier niveau étant surbaissé entre les longerons latéraux du châssis. Chaque wagon compte une paire de plates-formes réglables en hauteur qui font contrepoids l'une à l'autre en cours de réglage en hauteur. Le toit en tôle ondulée est léger et comporte une section centrale auto-portante. Chaque bout de la rame comporte une porte pliante à trois panneaux et un soufflet protège l'espace libre entre deux wagons partageant le même bogie. Le châssis supporte un circuit de freinage modulaire ainsi qu'une articulation de passerelle de chargement escamotable dans un des côtés de la plate-forme.
