Nice catch! I see them a decent amount on my local NS line, theyre really long flat cars, I will say I haven't seen a long stretch of them like that though.
those flatcars at the end, they load flat sheets of hot rolled steel or plate steel onto those cars, I see them a lot. those wood boards are there for the forklift to be able to load and unload the sheets, and when they stack multiple sheets, they put more wood boards between each one so the forklift can get underneath each sheet or slab. A lot of the steel carried on those cars go to facilities where they plasma cut or laser cut components out of them.

Those were most likely autorack cars that were made into flatcars.

Flat cars. Some are new bottoms or old bottoms of autoracks
These are basic flat cars, there's nothing really unique about them.
