Here's my COTW offering:
My only Railbox box car, made by Tyco, and seen here bringing up the tail of a freight train about to slip behind the trees.

I still see those RB's around, RP. I have four variants, at least one is Tyco.
Yours, next to yellow tree, is a neat contrast. Those rocks in the
background, are they new? I had not noticed them on prior entries.

Interesting - yeah, I have seen Railbox box cars made by different manufacturers too....
And, the rocks you're referencing to, are part of the rock wall I constructed last year, from real slate rock, hot-glued to each other. Plus, the rock wall rests against the "real" wall in the background, which supports it overall. I do have to add more Woodland Scenics fiber again, though, as plant growth in some of the cracks in the rocks....
Here's a photo of the "real" rock wall, when it was newly completed last year--

* I would gladly post a photo of my Rail Boxcar right here if I had one. I guess I don't have one. Ok but I am trying to get a Jail-Boxcar. Walters made one. No, really a they made a lot of them. So Maybe someday I'll get one.

My cotw is the Gilbert 33214 Sante Fe covered hopper. These generally are a common car but this one is scarce as it is a painted car instead of red plastic. It's in remarkable condition and is only the second one I've seen in 35+ years of collecting Gilbert HO.

Well, Mike is blowing us all away with that rail gun. As to that ATSF
red hopper, that really is a nifty piece, I've not seen one quite
lack that before. I didn't catch the manufacturer, as your
message got cut off. About what year do you reckon?

Chops, that hopper was cataloged in 1961 as part of set number 30705 as well as available for separate sale. It's an American Flyer HO car.
