PASSING TRAINS PT44; KCT35 PT3

The end of KCT35...
KCT35 handles alot of UPS traffic, such as this 53' container on chassis.
An aging -soon to be retired- 28' possum-belly trailer shares platform space with a 28' container on chassis.
More 28' equipment, many with the new "Shield" logo.
A pair of 28' container-chassis combos ride in a FEC 53' All-Purpose Husky-Stack; an unusual load for a car which normally sees 53' containers stack in its well, but demonstrating the versatility of the car.
A Werner Enterprises trailer leads a string of C.R. England reefers on a five-unit spine car. Werner is another one of the growing number of trucking companies embracing intermodal operations.
The balance of the trailers are mostly reefers, with one Interstate van thrown in.
The EOT flashes as the end rolls out of town and on to Trenton. Note the generator car outside the shop. It will be used to provide power to the business car fleet, since none of the AP&W's locomotives have Head End Power (HEP).
