You can ignore the information about the dimensions of the boxcar.
Since each drum weighs 340 pounds, you just have to divide 44000 by 340.

44000 / 340 = 129.4
so a fully loaded boxcar hold 129 drum.

if there is no space restriction then
44000/340= 129.41
that is 129 containers can be placed.

depends on wether the restriction will be space or load limit.
