Gates at the top/end of the chutes would not keep sheep from leaving the cars in the picture that stirred my curiosity. There is quite a bit of open space between the lower deck of the car and the chute.

I suppose I should mention that this fascinates me to some extent because I worked 40 years in the zoo business and have been involved in moving animals, though not by rail. We were particularly concerned that animals not slip out when loading or unloading, especially if that animal was not opposed to killing us.
