Open door
Title:  Open door
Description:  You usually see a box car with an open door when the car is empty, but not often a loaded car. Someone must have opened this one in transit, hoping for a mechandise jackpot. They were surely disappointed to find the load was linerboard, which, when I was a driver for JB Hunt, I recall as being shipped in 7000 pound rolls. Even if it was something you wanted, you couldnt just walk off with it!! Northbound on the 261 train. The reporting mark is UP, once upon a time, a MKT mark.
