AML - During the 1930s the 50-foot boxcar was introduced, which would become the standard dimension for the next century. Apart from these changes in capacity, boxcars have also seen innovations such as slotted cars for livestock and refrigerated cars for transporting perishable foods.
The “high cube” (high cubic capacity) boxcar evolved in the 1960s and was originally developed to handle parts for the automotive industry. It has since gone on to other uses, such as paper, lumber, plywood, and general merchandise.
