You can't be serious? Using boxcars would be too reminiscent of the

What about trains?
Are there rail lines that run into New Orleans?
You can move thousands with boxcars and flatcars and a couple engines.

Yes, I did realize that, which is why I did not include a reference to
it in my original posting.
The difference being that the boxcars would not be locked in this case
and the conditions at the destinations would be significantly better
than those of the previous reference.
If the passengers are too small minded to realize these differences and
choose not to escape then one has to question their intelligence.
Take the train and live, or stay in New Orleans and suffer or die?
Personal choice determines their fate.
