PASSING TRAINS PT 18; CDB47 PT 1

 Now that DBW11 has cleared the main (from last week), a passing train comes through...

CDB47, the Chicago-D.C./Baltimore international traffic intermodal train rolls in behind a trio of GE ET44AC demonstrators.
As is usual for international container traffic, a colorful variety of containers is in the train.
A pair of 40' China Shipping containers ride between 40' reefers.
The lead engine passes the recently installed AEI (Automatic Equipment Identifier) reader, helping the railroad track the train's movement.
The cars of DBW11 are parked in the yard as CDB47 rolls past.

Starting next week, we'll look at the variety of containers -and well cars- in the train.
