The load carrying vehicle includes a vehicle framework supported by road wheels, and railroad wheels are mounted on the framework and are movable up and down with respect to the framework for engaging the rails of a railroad track for supporting the vehicle from a railroad track. A load support framework is rotatably mounted on the vehicle framework about an upwardly extending axis, and a dump body is pivotally mounted on the load support framework about a horizontal axis, so that the dump body can be rotated and tilted with respect to the vehicle framework to dump its load at various positions about the vehicle. The dump body includes a bottom opening tailgate at the rear opening of the dump body, an apron hingedly connected to the dump body at the lower edge of the rear opening, and wing plates hingedly connected at each side of the rear opening of the dump body, and the wing plates and apron can be moved from closed positions folded about the tailgate to opened positions where they form a chute for guiding the load being dumped from the dump body to control the movement of the load as the vehicle travels along a railroad track.
