Defense Freight Railway Interchange Fleet

摘要

Oversized equipment and vehicles, like the M-ATV or MRAP bound for the Warfighter, are shipped via rail on flat cars that are specially outfitted to accommodate heavy loads. In many cases, the flat cars are part of the Defense Freight Railway Interchange Fleet (DFRIF; also known by their DODX reporting marks) that is owned and managed by SDDC. DFRIF cars are registered with the Association of American Railroads for use in interchange service on all commercial railroads.
