Why do I see box cars now after none for many years?

Question

For a while I thought containers had completely replaced box cars, but in the last couple of years I have started seeing box cars in US freight trains again.

I would if it has to do with the shortage of long haul truck drivers.

It is cheaper to move a container across the country on a train rather than a truck.  So I am unsure why your seeing the old box cars again, could they be refrigerated box cars which are still in common use.
