A method for using an over-the-roadway tractor, a puller configured for interconnection to and powered by a tractor for driving the puller over a railway, and railway bogies, for hauling one or more convertible roadway-railway trailers over both a railway and roadway. The method includes configuring the trailer for railway travel and operating the tractor to remove the trailer from the roadway and position the trailer on the railway, driving the tractor onto the puller and connecting the tractor to the puller drive system, operating the tractor to connect the puller to the trailer and drive the trailer over the railway when the trailer is configured for railway travel and positioned on the railway, disconnecting the tractor from the puller drive system and driving the tractor off of the puller, configuring the trailer for roadway travel and operating the tractor to remove the trailer from the railway and position the trailer on the roadway, and operating the tractor to drive the trailer over the roadway when the trailer is configured for roadway travel and positioned on the roadway. |
