According to some embodiments, a railcar with a pair of sidewall assemblies and a hopper comprises a plurality of transverse discharge openings. The railcar comprises a sliding gate assembly coupled to the hopper to control the discharge flow of lading. The sliding gate assembly comprises a support frame coupled to the hopper proximate the transverse discharge openings. The support frame extends longitudinally along the sidewall assemblies. The sliding gate assembly further comprises a plurality of discharge gates slidably coupled to the support frame; and a gate actuator operable to slide the plurality of discharge gates between a closed position, where each discharge gate is disposed adjacent to each of the discharge openings to restrict the discharge flow of lading, and an open position, where each discharge gate is disposed between discharge openings to permit the discharge flow of lading.
