Ahh, yes... the Inspection Cars, the majority of them from the 1930s to the 1970s just regular GM automobiles, most likely because GM made a good chunk of the period locomotives at their EMD Division. Lionel Trains used to make a '57 Chevy wagon (probably a Nomad) Inspection Car. The wagon was used in those 40-ish years, especially when it became more common after WWII because it could carry people and supplies (remember that the Mini-Van was not existent, unless if you include the VW Bus and the American imitators, such as the original Econoline and the Dodge A-100, and trucks of the time were only 2-door three-seaters, the way how they ought to be today).
Nowadays, all you see are your regular 4-door pick-ups (essentially the modern family "car") with tiny flanged wheels, which do not see much action, anyway. The only ones I've ever seen (and I've travelled to all 48 states and Alaska) have "Canadian Pacific" stamped onto the side.
