PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:Trailer On Flat Car (TOFC) has been in service since the1940s when it was originally developed to load truck trailersonto flat cars to streamline service and minimize transferringcargo from boxcars to trailers. In the early 1980s, after therailroads were deregulated, TOFC service exploded in NorthAmerica. The railroad’s ability to adjust haul rates to becompetitive with trucking meant new revenue in areas that therailroads weren’t able to successfully compete before.
