On the prototype, wouldn't it be hard to install a grain door across 
a double sliding door car?

I am surprised that there aren't more suggestions for a CB&Q 
prototype and HO scale model freight car that would capture the feel 
of a Chinese red grain loading boxcar from the 1960s.  I figure the 
Burlington had to be a big grain hauler in that era.
