| — In-game description |
The BMS Railtruck (also known as a Small Container Car) is an early-game logistical small train car designed to transport large quantities of raw resources along Small Gauge Railway Tracks.
The BMS Railtruck houses a crew of one soldier:
The BMS Railtruck is not equipped with any armament.
Two small train cars that are close together can be coupled by standing in the middle, holding 
+
, and clicking the Couple Cars option. Connected cars stick together and can be pushed or pulled by a Small Train Locomotive connected at either end of the chain. Up to 5 small train cars can be connected, locomotive(s) included. The driver of a small locomotive can access the inventory of all connected small train cars when interacting with structures by selecting the car in the structure's interface. Decoupling two connected cars is done by using a Wrench while crouched between them.
. This includes any structure or vehicle with a stockpile that can accept the particular content (Bases, Resource Transfer Station, Resource Container, certain facility structures, etc). To successfully submit, the target must be on either side of the car and less than 3 meters away. If multiple targets exist only the closest one is checked.| Structure | Input(s) | Output | Time |

The BMS Railtruck cannot be stored in a Storage Depot, Seaport or Storage Ship.
It can be packaged into a medium Shippable and transported by any Shipping Vehicle (Mobile Crane, Flatbed Truck, Barge, Freighter, Storage Ship, Landing Ships, Flatbed Car). It can be lifted by any crane. A Mobile Crane or Large Crane can undeploy and move while holding it.
The BMS Railtruck should only be used in logistical tasks, where the transportation and collection of large quantities of items, materials, and resources are required. Additionally, these types of vehicles should be only be used in backlines and midline regions, and as far away from frontline combat.
Due to its means of transportation, it is very limited to where it can move. It is highly recommended to keep their movements limited and in small, manageable areas.
It is an essential part of the facility gameplay loop if the facility is transporting massive quantities of raw resources, as this is the only train car that can do so. This is especially useful for most facilities, especially those that are refining Coke from Coal, or ones that use large amounts of Salvage in their processing.
It's one of the few vehicles not to appear as triangles on Map Intelligence.
