In the 1970's,
a surge of colorful boxcars could be seen all across the country
as larger railroads leased more and more boxcars from shortline
railroads. To encourage the return of the boxcars, shortline railroads
could charge a per diem, or daily fee, until the cars were returned.
Incentive Per Diem (IPD) boxcars were primarily 50' rib side boxcars
with 10' sliding or plug doors or double sliding doors. Some of
these cars can still be seen rolling the rails, under the ownership
of new roads, and often heavily weathered and graffi tied.
