Abstract
An intermodal apparatus for the rail transportation of containers with or without a highway chassis includes double axle rail bogies having a lower bogie frame and an upper platform section. The upper platform section includes a pair of connecting plates each having locking clamps for clamping to openings in the bottom corner castings on the front and rear ends of the container. A pair of spaced elongated push pull bars extend between two rail bogies adjacent the longitudinal sides of the container. The bars absorb the longitudinal forces exerted on the bogies as the trailers are transported along the rails to prevent the forces from being exerted on the trailers. The upper platform section includes a lifting mechanism for raising and lowering a container chassis combination.
