Lockheed aircraft wing assembly skybox Santa Fe railcar
After World War II, the ever-increasing size of aircraft assemblies, the "Sky Box" method of shipping aircraft parts was developed in the late 1960s specifically to transport parts for the Boeing 747 and other "jumbo" jets of the time.
The "Sky Box" consisted of a two-piece metal shell that is placed atop a standard flatcar to support and protect wing and tail assemblies and fuselage sections in transit (originally, depressed-center or "fish belly" cars were utilized).
