	Encyclopedia: Roadrailer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		In railroad terminology a roadrailer is a highway trailer that is specially equipped for use in railroad intermodal service.
		The advantage of using roadrailers is that due to their construction, the trailers can be pulled directly behind other freight equipment without the use of trailer flatcars.
		More modern roadrailers do not include integrated railroad wheels, but ride on specially manufactured bogies that do double-duty serving as articulation points between multiple trailers in a train.

	Railway Age: RoadRailer hits the big time - Wabash National's bimodal vehicle division - Bimodal's Growing Intermodal ...
		RoadRailer, says Gross, is filling an important niche in intermodal, and is now beginning to make a larger dent in the marketplace.

RoadRailer BiModal Ltd., a Wabash National British subsidiary, spearheaded the approval effort.
		RoadRailer has thrived as a division of Wabash National, which has grown in nine years from a small operation of 16 persons to a major producer of aluminum plate and fiberglass-reinforced plastic trailers with almost 2,600 employees.

		Glenn Swanson, vice-president of operations and maintenance for CP Rail's Intermodal Freight Systems business sector, sees the RoadRailer as "a step forward by looking back and seeing what was so good about rail freight service in the days when we had the lion's share of the market.

		As a result," says Swanson, "RoadRailer must move at the maximum passenger speed of 60 mph as far west as Milton, so it doesn't interfere with GO and so it makes its six-hour over-the-road running time to Melvindale, through the Windsor-Detroit Tunnel.
