Freight yard where semi-trailers and containers are loaded onto and unloaded from railcars. Railcars carrying truck trailers are called "TOFC" (Trailer on Flat Car); those carrying containers are called "COFC" (Container on Flat Car). The latter designation is left over from the early days of container shipping, when flatcars were used. These days, containers rarely travel on flatcars but on floor-less "spine cars" (unstacked containers) or in "well cars" (stacked containers).
