This black and white photograph shows a Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company piggy-back trailer at the Port of Stockton warehouses in California. In the railroad industry the trailer travels on flat cars, (TOFC), 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.
