That's an old Amtrak Mail Car in the middle. The T might have bought it from Amtrak. I worked a few times on trains 11 and 12 "The Fast Mail" back in the 90's we would have about 12 Mail cars with 2 coaches and a cafe... They hauled heavy mail on pallets and it took a long time to go from DC to BOS as we had to stop almost everywhere to unload pallets...

Thanks! That's actually an MBTA box car, MBTX is one of their reporting marks. The X means they own the box car but don't actually operate it.
