I know that for many years, grain was shipped in boxcars. I saw a picture on one of Dr Wayne's threads that had a boxcar modified with top loading hatches. I assume this was something done by individual roads.
When would those modifications have taken place, and when did top loading gondolas come into use?
I need to increase my rolling stock fleet, and I need to know what would be appropriate for grain shipments in 1949?
Thanks in advance for the help.
