PASSING TRAINS PT 18; CDB47 PT 3

 More of CDB47...

A trio of 45' boxes stacked on 40 footers, including another "ONE".
A pair of 40' reefers. (What we need is someone to make the "clip-on" gensets that power these containers.)
More 40' containers, in a TTX MAXI STACK I car, with more CMA/CGM boxes, and another "ONE". 
Single-stacked 20' containers, including a pair of tank containers. It is interesting to note that you cannot place a single 20' container in a well: the "nubs" that hold the real containers in place are only at the 40' locations in a well; a 20' box will only be held in place at one end of the container, thus increasing the likely hood of coming loose and sliding freely in the well! This is why you will always see a pair of 20 footers in a well.
The string of containers continues, with a rainbow of colors.
While sturdy, over time these containers get worn and faded; note the rust streaks on the K-Line box, and the faded logo and paint patches on the MOL box. And note the clean, freshly re-painted MAXI I stack car, with the new red TTX logo.
A rusty APL box rides a Safmarine reefer, both in the aforementioned TTX car.

The rest of CDB47 next week.
