Here's a photo of a boxcar-loading (only) grain elevator...

Note the chutes coming out the rear, they used to have a canvas? extension that would allow the worker to load the boxcar.  This grain elevator stopped shipping by rail even in the 1960s, as you can see (no stub track and no extensions on the chutes).

Cheers!

Keith No seems to have mentioned how the cars were filled.
 The was a space above the grain doors that the pipe from the grain elevator was put through, and swept back and forth to distribute the grain in the car, up to the level marked on the interior walls for that type of grain. The car could not be filled right to the top because of weight/load limits of the cars. These load levels were obvious if you could see into the cars - possible interior detail?
