PROTOTYPE HISTORY:

Railroads began experimenting with putting highway truck trailers on flat cars (TOFC) in the 1930’s as a way to offer door-to-door service and com- pete with the burgeoning long distance trucking industry. As Federal and state regulators began to allow longer trailers on the highways the railroads responded by introducing longer flat cars to carry them. The 45’ trailer was introduced in the late 1970’s and shippers rapidly demanded more of them in the 1980’s after railroads were deregulated. Their popularity diminished once longer 48’ & 53’ trailers were allowed to roam the nation’s highways and railways.
