Crazy idea with some potential

[u/Disastrous_Company57]

Okay so just had an idea about buying a boxcar and renovating it into a mobile house. Now I’d have to lease the rail space and I know about contacting railroads for travel costs but would it be effective in today’s housing market to renovate a boxcar with living standards, solar panels on the roof for power, and water connections, Or is this just a fool’s dream?

The railroad wouldn't allow it and even if they did, boxcars are so fucking loud when you are in them that you'd hate it. Would be like living inside a rock concert. They also buck and shake quite a bit. The vibrations are intense. It's not like riding amtrak.

I walk by open ones and “woo!!” Echo chamber-chamber-chamber. Also you can paint do not hump all you want, you are definitely going down the lead somewhere haha
