<P mce_keep="true">In 1960, I would guess 80% steel and 20% wood for boxcars and reefers combined as a group, on average for all U.S. railroads.  Although this probably varied considerably from one road to the next.  The Soo had a lot of outside braced wooden boxcars in use relatively late.  The Milwaukee had a huge number of outside braced wooden boxcars built in the 1920s that were routinely running 60-70 mph in their Pacific Extension time freights up into the mid 1960s.</P>
