Prototype
and Background Information:
Trailer On Flat Car (TOFC) has been in service since the 1940s when it was
originally developed to load truck trailers onto flat cars to streamline
service and minimize transferring cargo from boxcars to trailers. In the
early 1980s, after the railroads were deregulated, TOFC service exploded
in North America. The railroads ability to adjust haul rates to be
competitive with trucking meant new revenue in areas that the railroads
werent able to successfully compete before.
