The embodied invention is a foldable aerodynamic drag reducing plate assembly that is installed on shipping container front ends. The drag reducing plates incorporate hinges and attaching components specifically designed for the spacing and position of vertical rods that are part of a standard shipping container. The drag reducing plates include locking bars that provide stability against air wind when a train moves at high speeds. Also, connecting clips, stiffening channels, or hinges are used to combine the drag reducing plate elements design into a single unit.
