AUTORACK CARS
Autorack cars are disclosed. In one embodiment, the autorack car includes a car body and a pair of wheeled trucks supporting the car body. The autorack car additionally includes a stationary deck segment fixedly attached to the car body and at least one pivoting deck segment that is adjacent to the stationary deck segment and that is pivotably connected to the stationary deck segment such that the at least one pivoting deck segment is pivotable between a lowered position and a raised position relative to the stationary deck segment. The at least one pivoting deck segment is adapted to support at least one vehicle in the lowered and raised positions. The autorack car further includes at least one pivot assembly for moving the at least one pivoting deck segment between the lowered and raised positions.
AUTO RACK CAR CONVERSIONS AND DECK ADJUSTMENTS
An apparatus includes a panel, a fastener, and a cushion. The panel is coupled to a side of a railcar. The fastener engages the panel. A vertical position of the fastener on the panel is adjustable. The cushion is coupled to the fastener. The cushion extends from the side of the railcar towards an interior of the railcar and prevents the side of the railcar from contacting an object stored in the railcar.

A LATERALLY DISPLACEABLE RAILWAY WAGON
A railway wagon comprising a load carrier, and front and rear bogies, wherein each bogie comprises a platform, which is rotatably mounted. The load carrier is releasably connected to, and laterally displaceable in relation to, the platforms. The load carrier has a front end and a rear end and is provided, at each end, with a connection portion, and two support devices, which are laterally spaced, and which support the load carrier in a position where it is laterally displaced in relation to the platform. The support devices are vertically operable between an idle position and a support position, in which the support devices abut against the ground. Further, the railway wagon comprises a displacement device for laterally displacing the load carrier.
UNIVERSAL HITCH INTERMODAL WELL CAR SYSTEM
A system for a well car includes a frame, a hitch coupled to the frame near the first end of the frame, and a first deck coupled to the frame. The frame includes a first pair of sockets located near a first end of the frame and a second pair of sockets located near a second end of the frame. Each socket of the first pair of sockets is configured to engage a support casting of a first pair of support castings located at a first position along a length of a well car. Each socket of the second pair of sockets is configured to engage a support casting of a second pair of support castings located at a second position along the length of the well car. The first deck is configured to hold wheels of a trailer when the trailer is coupled to the hitch.
Suspension device for cables and tubings
The invention relates to a railway wagon comprising a load carrier (7) and front and rear bogies (8), each of the bogies being provided with railway track wheels and being electrically, hydraulically and/or pneumatically connected to the load carrier by means of one or more electric cables, hydraulic and/or pneumatic tubings (5). The load carrier is releasably connected to the respective bogies, and in a released state laterally displaceable in relation to the respective bogies by means of a displacement device. The load carrier has a front and a rear end and is at each end provided with a support device and a ramp (13), wherein the support device is adapted to support the load carrier on the ground in a position where it is displaced in relation to the bogie, whereas the ramp is along an inner edge pivotally connected to the end of the load carrier. The ramp is provided with a suspension device on the underside of the ramp including a guide arrangement (1) extending transverse in relation to a longitudinal axis of the load carrier, along which guide arrangement a slider (2) is displaceably movable, wherein the slider is provided with a holder (3) for holding of the one or more cables and/or tubings while allowing transverse movement of the cables and/or tubings together with the slider and holder along the guide arrangement.
RAILWAY WAGON FOR TRANSPORTATION OF SEMI-TRAILERS AND THE LIKE
A railway wagon for semitrailers and the like may include a first bogie, a second bogie, and a carrying section therebetween. An elongated channel configured to receive conduits for air, hydraulics and/or electronics may extend between the two bogies. The media channel may be lowered in a mechanical way when the carrying section is turned out to a loading/unloading position.
AUTO RACK CAR CONVERSIONS AND DECK ADJUSTMENTS
A system for transporting vehicles includes a railcar, a deck, a fastener, a screw, and a travelling nut. The deck is positioned within the railcar and is for supporting a plurality of vehicles. The fastener is coupled to the deck and operable to couple the deck to a wall of the railcar. The fastener prevents a vertical position of the deck within the railcar to be adjusted when the deck is coupled to the wall by the fastener. The screw is coupled to the railcar and the travelling nut is operably coupled to the screw. The travelling nut is operable to adjust a vertical position of the deck within the railcar as a position of the travelling nut on the screw changes when the screw is turned.

SYSTEM FOR A BRIDGE PLATE ASSEMBLY
Methods and systems are provided for locking assemblies of a pair of bridge plates placed between adjacent railcars. In one example, a bridge plate assembly may include a locking assembly with a guide tube shifted to a side from a center of a bridge plate and a pivot pin coupled to the guide tube protruding out of a left side or a right side of the bridge plate.
