Abstract: A method and system are provided for handling a flowable product when transferring same from one bulk container, such as a railroad tank car, to a second bulk container of smaller capacity, such as a tank truck. A fitting is removably mounted on a valved product discharge port provided on the one container. The fitting includes an inlet for a compressed fluid. A removable duct section connects the fitting to a valved product inlet port provided on the second container. The interior of the first container is charged to a predetermined pressure by the compressed fluid while the valved discharge port is closed. The product is transferred from the charged one container to the other container through the duct section when the valved ports of both containers are opened.
