Abstract

See full text

A vehicle for multi-modal transportation includes a first frame and a second frame. Each frame includes beams spaced apart from and disposed substantially parallel to the frame's other beam. Each frame also includes a bogie connector that enables the frames to connect to bogies for transportation in a rail mode. The second frame is movable relative to the first frame between a full open position and a full closed position. A portion of the second frame's beams are concentrically nested in a portion of the first frame's beams to enable the second frame to move telescopically relative to the first frame between the full open position and the full closed position. The vehicle also includes an axle and wheels operatively secured to the first frame or the second frame for transportation in a highway mode.
