Intermodal Containers - ISO Type 20GP
This is my Lego version of a basic 20 foot Intermodal Container. There are many variations on the standard container that exist for use with different cargoes including refrigerated container units for perishable goods, tanks in a frame for bulk liquids, open top units for top loading and collapsible versions.
Aggregate container capacity is often expressed in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) which is a unit of capacity equal to one standard 20 ft × 8 ft (6.10 m × 2.44 m) (length × width) container. Apparently the global container fleet has a capacity in excess of 25 million TEUs.

I've been looking at various flat-cars and well-cars for inspiration in building more wagons and I felt they would need some cargo. There seems to be a huge number of Lego variants but perhaps not so many which are built to the 1 stud = 1 foot scale (~ish) I prefer to use . . . so here's my interpretation. I've recessed the end-doors simply to accommodate the locking bars within the 20 studs length and to prevent them interfering with proper stacking.
They also come in 12 de-lego-licious colours . . .
