This black and white photograph shows a piggyback trailer from the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company at the Hobart yard in Los Angeles, California. In the railroad industry the trailers travel 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 could be delivered in half the time.
