All I can think of is it is an early form of road/rail and the tunnels are so low they had to put a well in the rail car to lower the trailer height??

I get that Lang, but what of the rails on the ramp? Drive tyres outside the rails and the steer wheels appear to be steel and running on the rails..

I'm assuming it's in the UK, so come on Grandad or eightpot, What's it all about.

I think the Kangaroo has nothing to do with Australia.

The sign on the trailer says you can hire it.

Novatrans novatrans-greenmodal.eu/en/about-us/who-are-we are big in transport in Europe.

The vehicle in the background looks like a Renault 4 and it looks like it could be a French number plate, so could be Calais or Dunkirk?

Also, having the tug front wheels on a rail - how is he going to steer the trailer while backing it on? Where do the guide rails start?

They don't stuff around with tugs anymore.

Some earlier photos. The sliding container operation eludes me. Can understand the elevating turntable but what happens down the back?

Here is an interesting French set in the days before standardised containers.
