<P>[quote user="Murphy Siding"] What other style would there be?[/quote]</P> <P>[censored]</P> <P>(lowbrow joke deleted)</P> <P>[censored]</P> <P>Actually, there is also "elephant style". To my knowledge such has never been done. Basically, each trailer is forward loaded one after the other by a specialized parallel tractor. Since the tractor unit is beside the consist and not actually on it, once the trailer is situated at the hitch (hitchuated?), the tractor simply pulls away and runs back to the next trailer, no need to back down the consist. Would work great for double and triple combo trailers.</P> <P>I think CP still uses circus style loading for it's Expressway service.</P>
