In the 21st century, high cubic capacity (hicube) boxcars have become more common in the US. These are taller than regular boxcars and as such can only run on routes with increased clearance (see [[Loading gauge#North America|loading gauge]] and [[structure gauge]]). The excess height section of the car end is often painted with a white band to be easily visible if wrongly assigned to a low-clearance line.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gbrx.com/files/files/NAR/Box_Cars/BoxCars60Auto.pdf |title=60 ft Hicube Boxcar |website=GBRX.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121114174030/http://www.gbrx.com/files/files/NAR/Box_Cars/BoxCars60Auto.pdf |archive-date=November 14, 2012 }}</ref>
