The boxcar, while not the simplest freight car design, is considered one of the most versatile since it can carry most loads. Boxcars have side sliding doors of varying size and operation, and some include end doors and adjustable bulkheads to load very large items.Boxcars can carry most kinds of freight. Originally they were hand-loaded, but in more recent years mechanical assistance such as forklifts have been used to load and empty them faster. Their generalized design is still slower to load and unload than specialized designs of car, and this partially explains the decline in boxcar numbers since World War II. The other cause for this decline is the dramatic shift of waterborne cargo transport to container shipping. Effectively a boxcar without the wheels and chassis, a container is designed to be amenable to intermodal freight transport, whether by container ships, trucks or flatcars, and can be delivered door-to-door.Boxcars were used for bulk commodities such as coal, particularly in the Midwestern United States in the early 20th century. This use was sufficiently widespread that several companies developed competing box-car loaders to automate coal loading. By 1905, 350 to 400 such machines were in use, mostly at Midwestern coal mines. * Intermountain Railway * HO Scale * Features:* Sharp Painting and Lettering* Etched Metal Roofwalks* SEE - THRU Walkways* Metal Grab Railings* Metal Grab Irons* Metal Cut Levers* Metal Knuckle Couplers* 33" InterMountain Metal Wheelsets* Minimum Radius - 18" exterior details include:# Etched Metal Roofwalk# See-Thru Metal walkways# Grab Irons# Ladders# Brake Gear# Piping# Doors# Underframe# Underframe Details * New in box* Ready to run LETTERING is Sharp and Clear SHIPPING: We do combine shipping on multiple purchases.
