Template:Infobox vehicles The Boxcar is a freight railcar featured as a static object in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV as well as a moving object in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. A moving version of the car pulled by the Freight was also meant to appear in GTA SA, but was ultimately cut and remains unused in the game files. In GTA V and GTA Online, the Boxcar is hauled by the Freight Train.
Design
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
The Boxcar is a static scenery object based on older model TTX boxcars. These can be found with their doors open or not parked in a warehouse in Ocean Docks. [[LoTemplate:Cutcontent In addition to the previous North American design Boxcar there exists an unused one with a dirty, rusty light blue-grey color that seems to be based more on a European goods car. This is evident by the buffers and somewhat rounded top, two features not commonly seen on North American freight cars. Even though the doors on either side of the car are both open, CJ cannot jump in, as there is an invisible wall. The car has no couplers, suggesting it was never really finished.
Grand Theft Auto IV
In GTA IV The boxcar appears as scenery once again. They can be found around the map's abandoned rail lines. Flatcars and tankcars can also be found. They are all rusted out and are more or less useless.
Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online
The Boxcar comes in multiple varieties; the first is an older looking weathered brown boxcar which unusually has a single door at one end and four square platforms on the roof which gives it a somewhat European look. Acording to the decals it is operated by Santos Spirit Railway Co and bears "FREIGHT" above a large "F" on the side. It can often be seen in the consist of freight trains.
The second is a yellow one that is almost identical in appearance to the aforementioned but is not operated by Santos Spirt Railway Co, lacks the door at one end and four roof platforms for a more American look. This boxcar can only be found as a static object in train yards around the state.
Prominent Mission Appearances
Grand Theft Auto V
Boxcars are prominently featured in Chop where the player must open several boxcars to find out where D is hiding, and at the end of The Paleto Score where the crew escapes Paleto Bay in a boxcar.
