Abstract
An articulated railroad car for carrying container or trailer loads providing for improved weight distribution among all the trucks, comprising a forward end car unit, a rearward end car unit, a plurality of interior car units substantially linearly and adjacently disposed between the forward and rearward car units. Between each adjacent pair of car units, the car has a shared truck having axles for supporting one end of one car unit and one end of the other car unit. A central shared truck is centrally located along the length of the railroad car. Articulated connectors on the shared trucks join the interior car units to one another and to the end car units, and a hitch for a kingpin on each of the car units is placed over the truck associated with the car unit which is farther from the central truck, to facilitate relatively even load distribution among all the trucks.
