Roadrailers first appeared on American railroads in the 1950s . The trailers were built with integrated railroad wheelsets that could be lowered into position when the trailer was pulled behind a train. More modern roadrailers do not include integrated railroad wheels, but ride on specially-manufactured Bogie s that do double-duty, serving as articulation points between multiple trailers in a train.
