This black and white photograph shows truck trailers from the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company being prepared for shipment at the Hobart Yards in Los Angeles, California. These trailers on flat cars (TOFC) are commonly referred to as a piggy-back service. With this intermodal form of transportation, between the railroad and trucking services, freight can be delivered in half the time.
