Is that a "jumping" hobo car, Jim?

Couldn't find the one Dan asks about on the Lionel site, but I believe the "jumping" hobo cars are a boxcar where the hobo is hanging out of the side of the boxcar, and when he comes across the trackside activator, he springs inside and the door closes.  (I could be mistaken about the door closing part)

Examples: (edit: examples of the jumping cars, not videos of same)

You can see how it works in the links in your post.     Just look at the manual in the link.   no video but somewhat detailed pictures.
