ABSTRACT:
A door designed for use in conjunction with a gate that covers the end of an enclosed rail car whose sides are sloped at the top, to cover the portion of the car end which lies between the top of the gate and the roof of the car. The top door is supported by members fastened to the roof, which permit the door to be stowed by tipping the bottom of the door outwardly and then sliding it onto the roof. The gate structure has upper ends that lie outside the lower end of the door when the gate is closed, to prevent outward tipping of the door.
