Oh I looked it up. These pans have a lid. UuU
From the Wikipedia page:
European breadmakers began using square lidded pans in the early 19th century to minimize crust. Railway service pioneer George Pullman chose the loaf for use on his Pullman railcars for efficiency reasons.[2] Three Pullman loaves occupied the same space as two standard round-topped loaves, thus maximizing the use of space in the small Pullman kitchen.[3]
I'm certain that I have never heard of Pullman before, yet I just learned about both his railcars and square bread in the span of three days. It's been an exciting week.
In that case, just in case you missed it, let me add the first black union in the US, the Pullman Porters:
