Gary ask:
2) A loaded Railbox (general service?) comes to my railroad and is delivered to a customer. After it is unloaded, I can use it to send a load anywhere I want?
----------------------------
Absolutely! As their slogan states "Next Load Any Road"..These were general pool cars and had no restrictions..

Btw - just curious - how were the Railbox cars financed? Who paid to have then made, and who paid for maintenance and repairs on them?

Railbox was owned by Trailer Train Company which was owned by several railroads..As far as maintenace the owning railroads did the repairs or a contract repair shop..Of course if a none owning railroad did the repairs the normal repair billing was applied.
