When I lived in Pittsburgh, boxcars were not very common and the land was ruled over by hoppers, coil cars, and gons of every shape, size, configuration, and road name.
Now I live in Northern Virginia and I'll see whole trains of boxcars. Full of plywood, paper, and bales of scrap fiber, I suspect. If I went off just what I saw out my office window, it would be "what the hell's an autorack? Never seen one of those before."
