Larry's right about some coils needing protection from the elements. The steel plant where I worked shipped somewhat smaller coils, perhaps 10 or 12 tons, in 50' double plugdoor boxcars. Oddly enough, the only cars I recall seeing there, in Hamilton, Ontario, were those from Union Pacific. I have no idea who the customer was or why those boxcars were preferred.
