Someone please help me

Can someone please tell me the name that we use for train box?
I mean train consists of many boxes, so the name we call for those boxes?

If you are referring to trains as a type of transportation (I can't think of anything else), then the separate "boxes" are called "railroad cars" or "railcars" in North American English and "railroad wagons/carriages" in the UK.
