[CBQ] Double Dr Box Car Question

[Ray Bedard <tczephyr@hotmail.com>]

Been having a lot of conversations with Bill Glick lately about double door box 
cars, specifically the 40 foot combination cars, classified XM-2's #41000 
series (see Mike Spoor's book page 55).
WHY a plug door plus a regular box car door? Is there a divider that separates 
the car info 2 compartments? Just don't know why 2 different doors are needed. 
I can see the need for a double door such as the XA-8 #11000 series (same page) 
so that larger items can be loaded, just seams strange to us, but I am sure 
that someone has the answer.
