I love these your freight trains power by my house. You guys are my favorite freight company. I once even sent a letter to you when I was five. Keep it yp
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?
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.
Boxcars can be used for refreshments that need to be Keep cold, Intermodal are used for long distance cargo, boxcars are usually medium priority or low never really high priority, Intermodal are always high priority
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 don't see how Carolyn puts up with Freddy.

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.

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.

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

I usually see a lot of Damaged box cars here in BC. Me and some others are huge fans of BNSF!
Lol! Who uses a forklift to open a boxcar door??
3:20 but it is serves him right.
No one uses boxcars anymore. It's mainly well cars and containers.
Box cars are so yesterday.
Always use forklift on the doors. No time for hanging about with insecure loads
