scissor lift on the return end lowers the shop truck to the shop track level. The car is moved forward until the rear truck with shop truck. The road trucks are moved laterally to track that bypasses the blast and paint booths and they are propelled to the out bound end, using the automated rabbit system, for the retrucking process.
Detrucking and retrucking systems can be designed using turn tables and rails, as shown in the drawing, or they can have transfer cars running in shallow pits, that move railcar trucks perpendicular to the car. Road trucks are always oriented to the A and B ends of the cars they are reinstalled under.
