The link above.
Edit:
I guess its not really a box car, but it kind of looks like one, which I think was the point.

yes
The ones under other are not DODX cars, just random afterthoughts.
cascadenorthernrr Hello all, I started a thread a few days ago about jumbo tank cars and I decided to start this thread about unique railcars that includes both passenger and freight equipment. By unique I mean oversize, over length, or just plain unusual. I look forward to your replies!

There are quite a few interesting cars out there under the DODX reporting mark, tank transporters, nucear missile cars (giant box car, there was a thread a while back), nuclear reactor transport flatcars, once upon a time a helium car I think (a little fuzzy on that one).
Other items:
Depressed center flats with all manner of interesting things, boilers, large transformers.
Circus Train! Which will be gone by the end of the year.
Flat cars with locomotives on them, either being transported for restoration or scrap.
Flexi-van trailer (minus bogie) on flatcar (watch the NYC's promotional video, its pretty neat).
Welded rail train.
