two sixes on the dice, named for the freight they resemble rumbling down the table.
means In dice games like craps, a roll of two sixes (twelve), the highest possible result on a pair of dice.
from American slang from the world of dice gambling, where a pair of pips arranged like the windows of a railroad car evoked the long freight cars — boxcars — of a train. The term took hold in 20th-century American gaming and crapshooting culture, where dice acquired a whole vocabulary of nicknames (snake eyes for two, boxcars for twelve), naming each roll for the picture its dots seemed to make.
