Munitions Transported On New 'Railer' Trailer

The video highlights a new American innovation: a train designed for the safe transport of munitions, eliminating the need to transfer explosives from freight cars to trucks. This 42-tyre train, known as a railer, uses compressed air tanks to convert from a trailer to a railroad train. The railer uses steel flanged wheels for guidance and pneumatic tyred wheels for traction and braking. It can carry 45 tons of ammunition directly from munitions plants, reducing the risk of cross-handling. This innovation represents America's latest advancement in efficient and safe munitions transport.
