These skybox cars are all boxes built to install on the 89 foot flat cars. Basically the same type of cars that receive auto racks or are used in cofc (single stack) or tofc service. I worked on a refrigeration unit on one a few years ago that was used to transport rocket fuel to Vandenberg Air Force base where most of the experimental rocket launches from Southern Cal originate. I think an 89 foot flat from Intermountain or BLMA would be a perfect base to start with for a kit bash.
