Does anyone have information about 50's era TOFC? I could use info on flatcar rosters, trailers used, and info on loading/unloading operations. Any photos would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance..... Brian C.
Trailer on Flatcar service was new on many railroads during the 1950s. At first, 25' trailers were used, but by 1959, 28', 35', and 40' trailers were being introduced. The Canadian Freight Railcar Gallery provides plenty of Trailer Train photos of early 85' flatcars built by Pullman Standard, complete with roster number ranges. http://freight.railfan.ca/cgi-bin/search.pl
