What kind of Boxcar is this?

[davesnow]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Friday, a UP train went by the old station at Bald Knob, Arkansas. The consist was all boxcars. The boxcars were very tall, long, had centered double-doors, and all were black or very dark gray. As usual when I need it, I didn't have my camera, and the train went by so fast, I almost missed it. Does anyone have a clue what type boxcar I encountered? I think some of the road names were CSX. Thanks in advance

Dave,

These couldn't be the double wide box cars I wonder. They are the 60-foot boxcars with the double doors.

Here's one I found on Bing.

I'm not sure. As I said, these were black or very dark grey, and they didn't look very old. Maybe something new??

Boxcars get repainted and reused so an older one can look new.

That'll teach you to leave your camera / phone at home! Now I am curious. Let's help Dave find it.

Probably 60ft hycubes. Their sliding doors are huge.

86' auto parts boxcar? Here in the Detroit area I see tons of them, mainly CSX, CR, CN, GTW, NS and UP, and some of the patched cars look pretty ratty. I have seen some CSX cars with patches over the whole side of the car.
