Title: Door lock for railway car sliding doors

Abstract: A railway car door arrangement is provided with a lock mechanism positioned toward the upper ends of the doors so as to be remote from the track level and thus will discourage pilferage. The mechanism includes a hasp which is pivotally mounted for swinging movement on a projecting portion of a door and which is engageable with a keeper socket supported either on an adjacent door, in the case of a two-door arrangement, or on the door frame of the box car side wall. The keeper includes a socket for receiving an end portion of a hasp and suitable locking projections are adapted to receive a cable or lock for further locking the hasp in closed position.
