those seals are usually 'bolt' types

I’ve cut many kinds and types of those seals in my 25 years hauling rail containers. I always used bolt cutters that you have to keep sharp and when you have a US Customs seals they wrap metal bands through the door rods and they are a nightmare sometimes yes they customer would have to use a grinder on those types. I really don’t miss those days.

Video of my WIP 1970's pig train. This is a bit dated now as I've gotten a few more nice trailers.

Also doing a custom Hennepin Overland flatcar for this train, because why not.

A battery operated grinder will go through any lock you want to put on there.

I think those trailer models are perfect! It represents an entire era of transport in my opinion.

On the immediate right are former Great Northern locomotive shops, and squeezed over to far right two grain elevators with a siding.
