One might keep in mind that many products would never have the manway 
hatch opened except for cleaning.  Most liquid products can be loaded and unloaded
through pipes and hoses attached to access valves. An open hatchway is 
a potential source of contamination.

   It's not a manway on a pressure car. The cover is opened for access to the valves and hose connections.
    But on non-pressure cars, the manway cover IS opened for loading, and opened for unloading to access the valve wheel, or for top unloading.
