        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.
