|  Item 2326720WABASH GRAIN DOOR BOXCAR     
      
        | Railroads equipped boxcars with temporary wood  gates to carry bulk shipments of loose grain.  These "grain doors" allowed the boxcars to be  used for any number of other shipments off  season. Ultimately, covered hoppers provided a  much more efficient means of loading and  unloading, and the practice fell out of favor  through the 1960s and 70s, although some boxcars  remained in this service into the 1980s. These  models include opening doors to reveal a wood  grain door and simulated load inside. FEATURES  Diecast trucks and operating couplers with  hidden tabs  Opening side doors  Wood grain doors and molded grain load
