Use of 40 ft Boxcars through time

It depends on era, railraod and location.
I model the late 1960's and there are still a huge number of 40 foot cars I would say 65% of Boxcars were 40'
By the mid to to late 1970's the 40 footers were quickly dissapearing and running out of their usable years. Some were put into MOW service while others were placed in special service I would guess around 35%
Some where still wondering around in the 1980's but I would say they would be less then 10%
