How to use "Boxcar" in context?
The boxcar was originally a railway vehicle designed to transport goods in bulk. The original boxcars had wooden bodies and tended to be more crude in construction than modern boxcars. As the railway industry developed, the boxcar became a standard transport method for goods.
Boxcars are now typically made from steel or aluminum and are fitted with lid and side doors that can open inwards. They vary in length, but the normal length is about 8.5 meters. Boxcars are fitted with ramps or lifts that allow them to be loaded and unloaded easily.
Today, boxcars are used mainly for transporting goods by rail.
