The present invention is directed toward a one-way dump railroad car that improves the efficiency of the discharging of bulk material carried in a body of a railroad car. Generally, the one-way dump railroad car includes a dump roller assembly that engages a trackside assembly to actuate rotation of the railroad car's body. The linear motion of the railroad car coupled with the rotation of the railroad car's body operate together to simultaneously form a discharge ramp from a second side wall of the body of the railroad car. The formation of this discharge ramp provides many benefits. First, it facilitates the discharging of bulk materials that are larger in size. Second, it enables the discharging of the bulk materials at a distance that is farther from the railroad car body. Finally, it facilitates the dumping of the entire load contained within the railroad car body.
