[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Mookie [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by macguy Seems to me, that today with all the demand for intermodal, railways are just happy to have all the equipment they can get to try and meet demands. Seems that issues like these will start to get fixed as newer equpiment comes on-line and the older stuff is slowly scrapped. It wasn't so long ago that boxcars would all travel with the doors open, nobody thought anything of it until someone realized how much extra drag this was causing on the trains..... I can't think of a time recently when I've seen a train go by and the doors of a boxcar have been open. [/quote] macguy - I scratch my head every so often when freight goes by and the boxcar doors are open. I wonder why they would invite people to ride inside like that. And I have seen it often enough that it isn't out of the ordinary any more. Probably will never know for sure! Mook [/quote] Wow, that's quite interesting, Mook. I can honestly say that I haven't seen a boxcar go by with open doors for a good number of years, which truly means one of two things. 1) For whatever reason the railways in my area are more aggressive in making sure these things are shut. or 2) I'm not spending enough time trackside.
