Thinking about these words by Malvina Reynolds (1962) sung by Pete Seeger (1963):-

Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes
Little boxes
Little boxes all the same
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same
<<end quote>>
we may well have a prophesy as to the appearance of an early 21st century freightliner train. Life was not always thatsimple boring.... "open" containers... "tautliners"... "bulk liquid"... any more? So what have we lost, in regard to types of containers by rail, in the last twenty years?
Or put another way - what types of containers could have been seen on freightliner rail services of the 1980s-1990s?
Why am I asking? Son has had a desire for such a train for yonks and I guess that there is no time like now to start the research with a general question.
