| Description | |
|---|---|
| Box cars For bulk loading of grain, boxcars were equipped with temporary grain doors which held back the contents. While loading and unloading were more time consuming than with a hopper, the boxcar could be used year-round in general service until needed for the grain rush. Boxcars remained a common method of grain shipments into the 1970s. | |
