TRANS SUBCOURSE 690

LOADING, BLOCKING, AND BRACING ON RAIL CARS

INTRODUCTION

Cargo is blocked and braced to make it as stationary as possible during rail

shipment. Unrestrained on a flatcar, cargo would be flung off the side on a

curve, or pounded to rubble by bouncing, or hurtled forward in a sudden

stop. The loading is done according to carefully detailed rules and

specifications of the Association of American Railroads (AAR). The shipper

of military freight finds a ready source of information in the AAR's Rules

Governing the Loading of Commodities On Open Top Cars and in the many Army

manuals on the subject. This subcourse introduces you to the regulations,

illustrating them with examples of military cargo commonly shipped by

flatcar. After studying lesson materials, you should be able to describe

the construction of a typical flatcar and to list the loading rules of the

AAR having the greatest significance for the military shipper. You should

also be able to apply the principles and procedures for shipping military

vehicles on flatcars.
