ABSTRACT:
A document shipping container assembly adapted to be coupled to a railroad car is disclosed. The document shipping container assembly includes a support member, a container, and a lid. The support member is attached to the railroad car and the document shipping container is attached to the support member. The bottom of the support member is shaped to mate with a curved Murphy End of a railroad car to position the container in a recessed location. The lid includes a circumferentially extending flange overlapping the container and the mating surface between the lid and the container. The seal between the container and the lid is watertight when the lid is closed. A latch permits the lid to be locked shut onto the container to prevent unauthorized persons from removing the documents therein. A non-repairable sealing member, such as a plastic strap, extends through the latch to provide an indication whether the documents have been tampered with. The lid is coupled with a spring-loaded hinge to the container to ensure that the lid automatically closes when released by a user. The entire shipping container assembly is constructed to be weather-resistant, and to ensure delivery of dry and intact documents.
