Patent ID: 7841280

Claim:
A system for reducing aerodynamic drag of a series of stacked intermodal containers, the series having at least a first, leading set of containers, the set of containers comprising a top container stacked above a bottom container; each of the containers comprising a top wall, a bottom wall, front wall, back wall, and side walls connected by a frame, the bottom wall having a tunnel extending from a first end of the container toward a second end of the container; the top container positioned on the bottom container such that the tunnel of the top container faces a forward direction in line for forward movement; the system comprising: an aerodynamic drag reducing device comprising a drag reducing fairing and an attachment frame, the fairing being attached to the attachment frame; the attachment frame comprising at least one mounting device extending rearwardly therefrom, and wherein the at least one mounting device of the attachment frame is configured to be removably mounted in the tunnel of the top container of the first, leading set of containers in a forward direction such that the aerodynamic drag reducing device faces the forward direction.
