Box cars remain the dominant method of transport for many commodities in North America. Many variations of the box car are in use today. One of the most popular, the 100 ton 60 ft. Gunderson Hi Cube box car offers large capacity and rapid loading and unloading. First introduced in the 1990's, these cars are designed to carry a myriad of loads, from auto parts to forest products. These box cars are a fixture to any modern freight train.

The Athearn model depicts accurately a Gunderson built boxcar. Many paint schemes from the extremely similar Trenton/Greenbrier built cars are also offered as close “stand-in” type models by Athearn.
