Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2016160067A1] Embodiments of the present disclosure include a rail car for supporting and transporting one or more containers storing proppant therein. A spine member extends from a first end to a second end of the rail car, and having a variable height that is greater at a midpoint than at the ends. A bolster is arranged on a top surface of the spine member, extends laterally in two directions, and has a greater width proximate the spine member than at a distal end. A mounting platform is positioned on the distal end of the bolster, has a container surface that receives the one or more containers, and extends vertically from the bolster to position the container above a top surface of the bolster. A locking assembly is positioned on the mounting platform and secures the one or more containers to the rail car when moved to a locked position.
