In rail transport, the practice of carrying trailers or semi-trailers in a train atop a flatcar is referred to as "piggybacking". Early drawings of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway c1830 show road coaches being piggybacked on railway flat wagons.
In general, almost any truck or trailer can be modified to carry a PiggyBack®. Princeton features the EZ Hitch® mounting system, which is a proven and tested design. This is also the only mounting system in the industry that features 3 point safety: hook, pin & slack safety chain.
Piggyback transportation helps carriers optimize costs by utilizing multiple transport modes for different shipping legs. For instance, they can use semi-trucks for trailer pickup (first leg) and delivery (last leg) while utilizing ships or trains for long-distance travel.
Piggybacking semi trucks or truck decking is a vehicle transport where a trailer has to haul 3 to 4 semi trucks in a chain. It utilizes a heavy wrecker to load the trucks and a fifth wheel hitch to secure them.
Trailer on flatcar, also known as TOFC or piggyback, is the practice of carrying semi-trailers on railroad flatcars. TOFC allows for shippers to move truckloads long distances more cheaply than can be done by having each trailer towed by a truck, since one train can carry more than 100 trailers at once. [1]

Piggybacking became a marginal activity. Doublestacking of containers (Container on Flat Car; COFC) saves much more convoy space than the piggyback method (Trailer on Flat Car; TOFC) with the added advantage of not having to carry a trailer.
