In particular, the present invention is directed to avoid the problems associated with railway cars springing in and out during loading or unloading. The present invention uses supports arranged on either side of the section of track, at which the railway wagon is to be loaded and unloaded, so that the loading floor of the railway wagon or car will remain at a fixed and predetermined height during the loading or unloading. The present invention contemplates the uses of cylinders or pistons as the supports used to place the railway car or wagon at a predetermined height.
