Kevin,
What is the era of your layout? Specialized boxcars were quite common in the golden age of steam. In addition to the lumber doors, you might see insulated, auto, ones with floor drains, ones for clean lading only, grain doors, drop bottom, ventilated, and more.
The more modern, the less likely they are to have the "specialization".
Hope that answers your question. Looking at Doctorwayne's threads may also be instructive
