In railroad industry, the Ramsey Car Transfer Apparatus (Ramsey Transfer) was a proposed device to replace bogies on railroad cars to permit transfer of a train between railroad lines with different gauge. The Ramsey Transfer existed in a number of variations covered by several different patents. It was typically used to transfer cars between 4 ft 8 1/2 in (1,435 mm) (standard gauge) and narrow gauge (usually 3 ft /914 mm in width) track. Two parallel tracks of 1 ft 6 in (457 mm) were set approximately 9 feet (2.74 m) apart. Between these two tracks, the standard and narrow gauge tracks descended into a pit, one from each end of the pit, overlapping in the center and having a common center line. Beams resting on trucks riding on the 18-inch (457 mm) gauge tracks were inserted under the car to have its trucks changed.
