Box cars with open doors - Model Railroader Magazine

Well, I think this blends in with the OP's topic, but, while watching the WC at my favorite spots, I spotted a box car door open about 3 or 4 feet, and a box of office furniture was leaning out the door.  You could read the printing on the box, and know it was office furniture.

I called their station in Burlington, WI. and told whoever answered the phone.  I drove to the Burlington crossing where the siding was, and saw the train, come a stop, and I got to help the conductor, and a signal maintaince guy, push the load back, and close the door.  The signal guy pulled his truck up close to the car, was able to push the box in close enough, that the conductor and I could push the door closed.  They asked if I was the guy that called it in, and shook my hand.

It was a cool experience.  I was a stock holder, and things were great.
