The Story of IPD Boxcars

Boxcars are the quintessential railroad car of North America. They can carry a large amount of freight and come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors. However, this wasn't anymore frequent than in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Due to a boxcar shortage starting in the 60s, large Class 1 railroads weren't able to supply customers with cars to move their freight. The US government would have to step in and incentivize the Class 1 railroads to build new cars. IPD, or Per Diem Boxcars were the result, as a long list of American shortlines built their own colorful boxcars for the Class 1s to lease out. But where are they now?
