The goods truck features a superstructure which is made up of interconnected longitudinal walls, end walls and floor and is designed to form a self-supporting body which twists relatively easily. The roof features at least one longitudinal part which is attached to one longitudinal wall and, with respect to the end walls and the other longitudinal wall, exhibits freedom of movement in the longitudinal direction which accommodates the twisting action. A charging port/charging ports can be provided in the roof. By employing the concept according to the invention the danger of derailment can be reduced, and fatigue crack formation avoided in the region of the roof. |

Apparatus and system for unloading bulk particulate material from a railroad tank car. A train of tank cars loaded with the material is routed to a discharge station along the rail-road right-of-way. At the discharge station a high pressure water distributor unit is provided with an outlet end adapted to be positioned over an inlet opening on each tank car. A supply conduit is removably mounted for vertical rotation within each tank car with the conduit''s upper end positioned within the inlet opening of the tank car. A rotary conduit is carried on the outlet end of the distributor unit and is adapted to be coupled in fluid-tight, rotary connection with the upper end of the supply conduit. The distributor unit carrys a motor to drive the rotary conduit when the latter is coupled with the supply conduit. A nozzle carried by the supply conduit is positioned for directing a high pressure stream of liquid to impinge upon and form a mixture with the material as the supply conduit is being rotated. The mixture which is thus formed flows through a grating in a discharge opening of the tank car and into a collection receptacle provided at the discharge station.

A hopper-type railroad tank car having a longitudinally extending tank shell supported upon a pair of shortened stub center sill assemblies, one at each end, and a plurality of hopper compartments spaced at intervals along the length of the car. Each hopper compartment communicates with a bottom outlet, cut-out of the tank shell. The inboard edges of the center sills are positioned outboard of the respective end-most hopper outlets. An end reinforcing structure is provided to transmit horizontal and vertical loads from the center sills to the tank shell and to transmit bending moments applied to the end of the car to the tank shell.

A covered hopper railcar includes side sheet means of undulating cross section having a center sideplate means secured to the side sheet means adjacent a point of reverse curvature thereof and extending longitudinally of the railcar. A top sideplate means extends longitudinally along the top of said side sheet means, and a side sill means extends longitudinally along the bottom of the side sheet means. The center sideplate means, the top sideplate means and the side sill means are all formed of steel while the side sheet means and roof are formed of aluminum, suitable aluminum shield means being provided for preventing contamination of lading by the steel members. The railcar includes a plurality of spaced hoppers and a longitudinally extending center sill means extending substantially throughout the length of the car. The roof of the car is of curved crosssectional configuration.

A tank car comprises at least two sequentially arranged tanks, connected by a joint assembly and supported at the joint assembly by a common carnage. The distance between the closest points of the two sequentially arranged tanks of the tank car on a straight rail track section is less than 1000 mm. The invention provides increased effective volume of a tank car achieved by decreasing the distance between neighboring tanks. |

A hatch anti-accumulator constructed from a suitable plastic material formed into a rectangular sheet. Slots designed to accommodate fasteners are provided near each end of the material. The rectangular sheet is then bent or rolled to form a short cylinder or ring conforming to the shape of a loading hatch and/or nozzle, and forming a bib or sleeve around the exterior of the hatch and/or nozzle. The bib is then secured in position by installing fasteners through the slots provided. The anti-accumulator fits around the loading nozzle (or hatch coaming) on the top of cement hopper cars to allow accumulated cured particulate matter to be easily released from the nozzle. |
