A rail road car has a deck for carrying wheeled vehicles. The vehicles can be circus loaded over sets of movable bridge plates extending between the rail road car and adjacently coupled rail road cars A transition plate system is provided to span the space between the end of the deck and the bridge plate The transition plate system includes a crank assembly that is operable to lift transition plates, permitting the bridge plates to be moved to a cross-wise position, or to an extended position. Raising the transition plates also facilitates coupling of cars by raising the transition plate out of the way of an incoming bridge plate toe of an adjacent car. The incoming toe is able to cause the opposite transition plate to be lowered.
Un wagon comporte une plate-forme pour le transport de véhicules à roues. Les véhicules peuvent être chargés en bout au moyen de ponts de liaison amovibles qui relient le wagon à d'autres wagons adjacents attelés. Un système de travées est prévu pour combler l'espacement entre l'extrémité de la plate-forme et le pont de liaison. Le système de travées comprend une manivelle qui sert à relever ces dernières, ce qui permet de placer les ponts de liaison à une position transversale ou à une position longitudinale. Le relèvement des travées facilite également l'attelage des wagons, car les travées sont ainsi éloignées du bout du pont de liaison d'un wagon qui s'approche; ce bout de pont de liaison pourrait provoquer l'abaissement de la travée sur le wagon adjacent.
