The Iron Highway is a rail-based intermodal freight concept developed at New York Air Brake in the mid-1980s and tested by CSL Intermodal in the early 1990s. The Iron Highway system employs specially designed locomotives located at each end of a string of 60-meter articulated platforms that divide in the middle to form ramps for the loading and unloading of regular truck trailers.
