As the 53' container quickly became the standard for domestic shipping, older well cars built to carry 48' boxes soon fell out of favor with railroads. Most were only a few years old, so starting in 2003 Thrall began a rebuilding program that shortened the wells to the standard 40'. Today they can be seen carrying 20' and 40' containers in the well, with 40' and 53' units on top.
