I caught that trailer back in 2010. All the other companies sold their RoadRailers to NS/Triple Crown. Occasionally you'll still see old patched CN, Swift, and Amtrak trailers. The AMTK ones are really obvious because they have Phase IV paint still but the CN and Swift aren't as easily noticeable. All the old UP trailers used to still say "We can handle it" on the side after NS bought them but I think they've all been fully painted by now. I have some Bowser RoadRailers in HO scale at my house.

Living near Ft Wayne, IN, the meeting point of all Roadrailer routes, I see tons of these trains. I've seen the 10,000th trailer at least 5 times this year already.

The front of the trailer itself has a special mount which locks into the back of another trailer. And there is a specialized set of rail trucks under the kingpin of the trailer.

thats some new type trailer i ever seen. All I seen is the regular trailer that is on top a a yellow looking trailer name TTX.

Wow that is a lot of power for a Roadrailer train. Nice Job!
-
amazing the trailer monocoque chassis will drag that weight without tearing apart.

Do they run these always alone or do they run with any other freight ?
So how do they get the trucks back when they are empty?

Roadrailers don't go back empty, there are always trailers to send back. Otherwise, I would imagine the wheels sit on a track somewhere... I've seen them put these together, but I never thought about what they do with the wheels.

How are they coupled together?

Specialized bogie. The trailer's set in like they do on a tractor-trailer, and I think there is some sort of crank or jack in which they raise them up.
