ABSTRACT:
A polyethylene chock box which is secured to the railroad car sidescreen by means of removable blind fasteners, thereby greatly decreasing labor costs and well as future maintenance expenses. The chock boxes have a contoured lower surface with drain holes to permit water to drain from the boxes and to permit water to flow beneath the boxes so the railroad car can drain as well. The resilient polyethylene prevents the chipping and denting of the vehicle doors, while also reducing weight.
