This is a slide, roller-bed, magnlev, or fluid lift side transfer platform system for transfer of transport or cargo containers from and to railway cars, motor trucks or conveyor and a dock. The container has transfer arms that extend or lock into corner castings on a side and can be hinged to swing down to position wheels on the arms to track in parallel channels slanted obliquely out away from the car to pull the container out parallel as the train moves to dock the container. The car is moved in the opposite direction to receive the container. The car can extend a push arm to engage the container or a starter to accelerate the container to train speed at alignment for it to be pushed along the oblique channels parallel into an empty berth on the train. The accelerator arm can retard a container pushed out from the moving train. Roll up-down side doors on the car operate the transfer arms to raise and lower with the lower door and secure the container in place when closed. Powered roller conveyors accumulate and position containers on the dock. The containers can be transferred between the dock and trucks or semitrailers and transfer arms removed or retracted before highway operation of the trucks. The containers can be auto carriers for transfer from and to trains inroute. Small mail and express containers fit rail car and trailer widths and offer drive through loading.
