Abstract
A railcar has a substructure, a superstructure and side webwork joining the substructure and the superstructure, leaving an interior space suitable for carrying automobiles. The number of automobiles carried within the railcar structure, and the versatility of the railcar, are improved by using an adjustable decking structure which allows vehicles of different sizes to be carried. The decking is moveable to permit a lower, or main deck to be loaded before loading other decks. The decking structure is also movable between a two deck and a three deck configuration. Middle and upper decks may be adjusted and loaded in a suitable manner. Provision is made for the adjustable decks to be driven positively both upward and downward.
