Introduced in 1988, the All-Purpose Spine Car is an outgrowth of several earlier
designs.
Working with the railroads to determine their changing requirements, Trailer Train
introduced the All-Purpose Spine Car in 1988. Equipped to carry containers and
trailers at the same time, each of the five units in the car is fitted with collapsible
hitches and container locks. Trailers from 28 to 48' long, or 40,45 or 48'
containers can be carried. The end (A&B) units have additional locks to carry a
pair of 20' containers. Brake wheels are installed on each end unit, reducing the
rigging to activate the hand brakes.
Today, these all-purpose cars can be seen running in general freights, or with
other types of intermodal equipment.
