Torn doors hanging out 
of door openings on empty 40' box cars were a common sight back then.

They were responsible more than once for loosing a train order before the 
waycar got to you.

  Tks Pete - I contacted Signode to ask where distribution warehouse(s) were 
  in midwest that the box car would have originated and whether they ever had 
  their own railcars.  I believe Signode still makes the wrap for  those bulk 
  loads of lbr (some great HO detail parts made for this but that said in the 
  pre-BN era most lbr was  shipped in boxcars or if on a flat, was NOT covered 
  by wrappers.  I can recall the grain door opening covers stacked in ground 
  by elevators for installation and also meeting a Fed grain insp. once - 
  didn't Western Weighing once install these as well?  Torn doors hanging out 
  of door openings on empty 40' box cars were a common sight back then.  Same 
  HO mfg makes those lumber wrappers makes the door liners too I believe but I 
  make my own.  Great modeling detail!
