Method of stack storage and transportation of platform cars consists in assembling the train of platform cars loaded into two tiers by empty platform cars on locating blocks with thrust elements made capable to be thrown out and folded onto lodgement. In a raised working position, the lodgements have the possibility of adjusting the installation height above the platform car floor. On the floor of platform car (1) for the wheel pairs of the loaded platform cars, lodgements (2) are installed with thrust elements made capable to be thrown out and folded onto lodgement, and thrust braces (3) are installed. In the raised working position lodgements (2) have a possibility of adjustment of installation height above the level of platform car (1) and in the folded state are located not above the platform floor level. Thrust elements are located on lodgement with possibility of being moved in longitudinal and transverse directions relative to wheels of submerged platform cars till they contact with wheels and fixation of wheels on floor of platform car.
