    Let's see how close I get:

    ACF well car (SP/SeaLand, the original) - 1977

    ACF Double Stack - 1981

    Budd Lo-Pac 2000 - 1981

    Gunderson Twin-Stack - 1985

    Thrall Lo-Pac II - 1986

    Trinity Backpacker - 1987

    Gunderson Maxi-Stack - 1988

    I could continue, but why? All of the above is from The Model Railroader's Guide to Intermodal Equipment & Operations by Kalmbach.
