  • Patent number: 4235370
    Abstract: A portable set-off device for a railroad motorcar comprises a collapsible platform and a telescoping ramp. The platform has a barrier, near its end edges transverse to the railroad tracks, for preventing the wheels of the motorcar from rolling off the end edge of the platform. The platform also has an inclined ramp along the same end edges for permitting a wheel of the motorcar to be rolled back up onto the platform in the event that the motorcar has rolled off into the space between the railroad track rails. The platform may be divided longitudinally into two half-parts which have the inclined ramp along the same end edges for permitting rubber wheels of a high-rail motor vehicle to drive up onto the railroad track rails.
