Single-door versions would become most common, although many double-door cars would be constructed to assist with the handling of bulkier freight such as automobiles, furniture, and lumber. In fact, many railroads classified double-door box cars as “automobile cars” or “furniture cars” in deference to their specialized service. Double-door box cars typically had reinforced flooring to handle the weight of heavier loads and the equipment used during the loading and unloading process.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlas Model Railroad Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50060668567798,"sku":"AHO-20006574","price":27.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0560\/files\/AHO-20006573.jpg?v=1772387982","url":"https:\/\/mrmuffinstrains.com\/products\/aho-20006574","provider":"MrMuffin'sTrains","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
