From the mid-1960s on, automakers moved away from integrated plants toward specialized component plants, which caused a surge in parts traffic between sites. To handle it, the railroads ordered 86-foot high-cube boxcars whose four flush plug doors allow bulky, lightweight loads to be forklifted in and out. Thrall built thousands of them, and they ran in auto-parts trains for decades.
