Raildecks for Intermodal Flatbed Loads

[Blazeman]

I didn't see that this had been posted here in a search.

For you modern modelers as well as those enjoying building flat car loads.

Both videos lack a shot showing a second container physically touching down onto the Raildeck.
The shot cuts when the container being lowered down onto the Raildeck is about a foot from making contact.
It makes it look as though the product has not been tested, yet the company is trying to make it look as though it is all ready to go.

Yeah I thought that was a little surprising.  I certainly haven't seen any of these on the rails yet.

Apparently at least one company is using these on BNSF:

This is a PDF file, so might be a little hard to open with some browser setups.

And, they seem to be used in Canada as well:
