A Trailer-on-Flatcar (TOFC) is a method of intermodal freight transport where truck trailers are loaded onto flatcars for movement via rail. This system allows for the efficient transportation of goods over long distances while benefiting from the speed and cost-effectiveness of rail transport. In this setup, the flatcar is designed specifically to carry the trailers, which are typically offloaded at rail terminals and then transported via trucks to their final destinations.
