Abstract

The invention relates to a railroad freight car having hoods covering the freight room which slide over each other and lie in one plane in the closed position. The hoods are liftable, swivelable and can be put down on rollers which engage rails by means of an actuation arrangement. The hoods, are split at their apex where they have joints and a sealing element. The railroad freight car is provided with separation walls for securing of a load. The separation walls, are movable on rollers running in rails on the freight floor, on both sides of the center portal in the freight floor and can be arrested at the bottom by releasable pegs in the floor and at the top by means of swivelable locking cams in the hood.
