Rock Island must be the red-headed step child of 86' boxcars.  They had Pullman 8 doors and Thrall 4 doors with at least two schemes apiece and nothing from anyone yet.  ???

That brings up a good quiz question...
What is the largest railroad to have not owned (or leased, you know what I mean :P) any 86' boxcars? They would really be the red-headed step-children!

Probably a Canadian road.  ;)

I'll say BNSF.  At least I've never seen one.

They exist.  At least in Thrall form.  I can only assume they're all former BN cars.

Most are just a flat baby-$h!t brown with no identifier beyond a reporting mark.  Some have a very small herald in the upper-right corner.

Rio Grande?! Check this page: http://www.bluford-shops.com/bluford_1025_008.htm
about half way down on the left.
Not KCS.
It's not a Canadian road (BCR didn't have them but they're not the biggest to not have them.)
And BNSF has former BN and ATSF cars.
Anyone? Bueller?
