A rail road car has a deck for carrying wheeled vehicles. It has a bridge plate mounted to one end to permit wheeled vehicles to be conducted between the ra il road car and an adjacently coupled rail road car. The bridge plate is movable between an extended, "drive-over" longitudinal orientation relative to the rail road ca r, and a side- ways, or cross-ways stowed orientation. The bridge plate can be moved to the stowed position by uncoupling the rail car, and pivoting the bridge plate to the cross-ways position. The cars can be re-coupled by placing the bridge plate in the leng th- wise orientation, and then advancing two cars together to form a coupling.</SDOAB >
