Presently, the railroad cars used for containing bulk material are large container cars in which the container compartment is the full size of the car. Special equipment is required to fill the container car with the bulk material and remove the bulk material from the car, generally through doors in the bottom of the car. However, many businesses which desire to ship bulk material are not located near the railroad tracks and do not have easy access to the special equipment needed to transfer the bulk material from trucks to the railroad container car. Also, the business receiving the bulk material may likewise not be near the railroad tracks or have easy access to the special equipment required to transfer the bulk material from the railroad container cars to trucks. There are presently on the market trucks for handling bulk material, such as refuse, having a container which can be easily and quickly slid off of or on to a hoist at the back of the truck. One of such trucks is a Dempster Dumpster with a Dinosaur container made by the Dempster Dumpster systems division of Carrier Corporation of Knoxville, Tenn. Another such truck is made by Accurate division of Western Capital Corporation of Williamstown, N.J. Since these trucks can transfer bulk material in containers which can be easily removed from and replaced on the trucks, it would be desirable to have a railroad flatcar which can easily receive one or more of the containers from such tracks and allow the containers to be transferred back to the trucks. This would allow the delivering business to transfer bulk material in the containers by truck to a railroad siding where the containers could be easily and quickly transferred to the flat car. At the other end of the delivery, the containers could be transferred from the flatcar to a similar truck for delivery to the receiving business.
