Miner's rapid discharge systems for ore cars provide the largest opening possible on through-sill railcars. With the Quick Drop version, the opening doors are disassociated with each other allowing them to swing freely once unlocked. In addition to the primary and secondary lock systems, a safety catch has also been employed which ensures doors are fully closed and locked prior to the train moving.
