Abstract

A vehicle for a freight transportation system has a platform with end walls located at opposite ends. A pair of doors are pivotally connected to the end walls and are pivotal upwardly between closed and open positions. The doors are held in the closed position by a latch that includes a release member projecting laterally from the door. Upward movement of the release member releases the latch and allows the doors to be moved to the open position.
