Agricultural products like grain were previously moved on the railroad utilizing boxcars. Special wood, cardboard, or paper "grain doors" would be used behind the main door to keep the product from spilling out. Come the 1960s and 70s though, and American railroads began to switchover to larger hopper cars that could hold more product and were much easier to unload using chutes on the car. However, in Canada, things were changing at a slower pace. Canadian National and Canadian Pacific were refurbishing their grain boxcars while their American counterparts were switching to hoppers. In this video, I take a brief look at the history of Canada's grain boxcars and how long they truly lasted as hoppers slowly took over on Canada's railways.

Special thanks to Eric Gagnon for allowing use of his photos and for his articles about CN/CP Rail's grain boxcars!
