Long time B train driver. Vans,flats,chips tanks. You can unload without disconnecting. Kind of plate to bridge the gap so forklift could load both trailers at once. Chip wagons do that too. The back door and the nose of pup open. All kinds of different combos. 38s, 35s, 38 & 24. Anyway, best #### set up out there. Way better than a 40/20 with a high load of lumber on a coast road....

My game, Trainz, refers to the lead trailer, with the extended deck and 5th wheel behind the cargo doors, as A and the following trailer as B. The "pup", B, is actually the longer of the two trailers and looks like a normal semitrailer albeit with tri axles.okiedokie and Farmerbob1 Thank this. -
Same deal Tom. If the frame is extended past the deck & has a 5th wheel it's a B train. Easy to back up with a little practice.
Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
Cattleman84, magoo68, okiedokie and 3 others Thank this. -
- A-train: single pintle hook
- B-train: fifth wheel
- C-train: double pintle hook
Not to be confused with a truck and pony or full trailer. -
One of those broke and came slamming down, bounced the hood completely off of a nice pete. lol
It was at a cotton oil mill in Helena Ar iirc. I was glad I had a walking floor and just walked my loads out. lolpushbroom Thanks this. -
On the a train, are you talking ablot the rear trailers that hook to a pintle, but have no dolly, just a turntable?
How does the double pintle hook work, I don't guess I have heard of a c train? Or is it the same as tripples?FlaSwampRat Thanks this.
