 Prototype 
and Background Information:
 Trailer On Flat Car (TOFC) has been in service since the
 1940s when it was 
originally developed to load truck trailers
 onto flat cars to streamline 
service and minimize transferring
 cargo from boxcars to trailers. In the 
early 1980s, after the
 railroads were deregulated, TOFC service exploded 
in North
 America. The railroads ability to adjust haul rates to be
 competitive with trucking meant new revenue in areas that the
 railroads 
werent able to successfully compete before.
