In conjunction with a railway car having doors on either side which pivot downward to an open position and upward to a closed position, arm means raisable and lowerable and movable toward and away from the car to cooperate with slots in each door to raise and lower that door. Such arm means may enter the slots at openings at the tops and bottoms thereof but cannot be removed from the slots when in between these openings. Means are included to ensure that the arm means, after raising a door, cannot be removed from the bottom openings of the slots unless that door is locked in its closed position.

A railway car has a roof portion, a floor portion and side wall portions. Each side wall portion is made up of a plurality of door portions pivotally fixed relative to the floor portion. The door portions, when pivoted upward, form the side wall portions, with the top edges thereof adjacent the roof portion, and, when pivoted downward, have edges adjacent the ground so that automobiles may be driven thereon. Attaching means are included with the door portions and with the automobiles so that the automobiles may be fixed thereto, with the wheels of the automobiles against the door portions. When the door portions are pivoted upward, the automobiles fixed thereto are carried therewith into the confines of the railway car. Depending on the attaching means used, the automobiles may be either vertically or horizontally fixed to the door portions.
