According to some embodiments, a method of assembling a tank car comprises assembling a top platform. Assembling the top platform comprises coupling a first running board to a first handrail assembly such that it at least partially encloses the first running board; coupling a second running board to a second handrail assembly such that it at least partially encloses the second running board; and coupling the first handrail assembly to the second handrail assembly via at least one closure plate to form a passageway for a rail operator to pass between the first handrail assembly and the second handrail assembly. The method further comprises coupling the top platform to the tank. Particular embodiments include leveling the top platform on the top of the tank.
