    A damaged car is a bad order car. if you are going to load a boxcar or any car don't use the forklift to open it or it will damage it beyond repair.

    How does one keep the door open? I don't suppose it's good practice to leave doors open when the train is on the roll, but surely there must be a way to latch them open reliably?

    I'm suprised that boxcars are still in use. I thought intermodal was the norm.

      Box cars are used for small industries, whilst intermodal is used for long distance trains.

      They still use boxcars on mixed freight trains and locals. They're mainly used for local industries now, where customers can just load their cargo without having to drop of their cargo at the yard.

      Intermodal is the norm for CERTAIN applications. But mostly boxcars are used for paper and lumber products.

      Intermodal shipping (containers and piggyback trailers) are used for long distance or international transport. Boxcars still carry the lion's share of most domestic rail freight requiring protection, though. Lumber and paper products, auto parts, machinery, furniture, appliances, beer, food products, and more still travel by boxcar.

    I usually see a lot of Damaged box cars here in BC. Me and some others are huge fans of BNSF!
