Well That isn't my pic that's a pic from on line(I wasn't driving with my camera) - I'm pretty sure the ones I saw actually had Santa Fe written on the side. The ones in the pic I posted seem to say GE or something

The purpose for them in the game was to transport humanoid beings. The game came out in 2004. Also i think those cars a bit too narrow for cattle.

LOL they do look like the train cars from half life 2

They also look like closed car carriers, theres one company I know of called National Steel Car of Canada here in Ontario Cnd, who make rail cars.

Without seeing the interior of these rail cars I'm going with my idea, they are closed car carriers.
Why are they covered? well protection from weather and theft of car parts is why.
Anyway just my opinion

Could be live stock too as said in another post above. Or really for people, we won't know till we get there. ...

Yeah, the pic posted does look like the one that disgustedbyhumanity linked us to.

I guess we all need to be armed with video cams and good digital cams these days to be able to share fully what we see.

I think I will invest in a good camera soon, you just never know when you might need one for real.

This type of boxcar is used to ship automobiles. This is from the site linked below.

Tri-level Auto Car - Able to carry 15 standard model automobiles or 18 compact cars, the multi-level auto-rack car has made possible significant savings in the transportation of automobiles from factories to dealers. Railroads now carry 70 percent of all new vehicles manufactured in the United States.

Darn!!! You beat me to it!

I live in Northeast Ohio and we have TONS of train traffic through here and I can tell you with 100% absolute surety that these railcars are designed to carry automobiles - not just completed autos, but chasis, frame and bodies etc.. Between Detroit through to Buffalo you have hundreds of auto manufacturers, assembly plants etc... This is just a much more effecient and effective method for transporting autos as opposed to putting 8 on a semi truck and driving them around.

Yup, it does look like HL2 train which carry Combine mutilated modified humans (inactive state). Episode 1, June 2006, episode 2, last October.

But, here's a link that might interest you.

I hope you're not using a video game as evidence as to what you think a railroad box car is for.

I'd need some more context to that photo to have any sort of opinion at all. Are those even FEMA owned cars for one? Are there no other box cars like that(i.e. do any other shipping companies use these for any other purposes, other than for rounding up Ron Paul supporters?)


It would appear based on the link that Kozmo provided, that those are for transporting automobiles, unless anyone can provide pictures of the inside of a car carrying anything other than that.
