The Boxcar is an unused freight railcar in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that would have been hauled by the Freight. Very little is known about it, or why it was ultimately unused. It returns in Grand Theft Auto V.

Grand Theft Auto V
The Boxcar comes in two varieties; a yellow one bearing the word "FREIGHT" a large "F" (clearly parodying TTX Company's "Railbox"), as well as an older looking brown one with a door on one end. 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.

Trivia
- There exists another variant of the Boxcar, actually used in-game, but as scenery, not a vehicle. It is a yellow boxcar that resembles an American one much more closely, dropping the buffers and flattening the roof. These can be found with their doors open or not parked in a warehouse in Ocean Docks, Los Santos.
- Even though the Boxcar lacks couplers, it can be hauled without a hitch as if they were there.
- Boxcars return in Grand Theft Auto IV, once again as scenery. 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.
- It should be noted that modding Boxcars onto the Freights will make certain missions impossible to complete (like "Catalyst" or "Green Goo"), as they were made to use Flatcars.
- In the Content Creator in GTA Online, the Boxcar is available as a form of a road block object.
