PASSING TRAINS PT 20; SND40 PT 2

 Train SND40 continues...

While both containers look similar, they are actually two versions of Hyundai containers; the top one is an early 53' box, while the bottom one is a later variant -note the silver roof rail on the top between the stacking posts. Also, the stacking posts themselves are (very) different.
Another pair of exterior post containers, from two different manufacturers; the top one is a Stoughton, the bottom one is a Hyundai (yes, they make containers. And trailers).
A BNSF MAXI IV joins the string of TTX cars.
A pair of late Hyundai containers ride a single-unit NSC well car. Note the wide "triple-bar" stacking posts, which make these boxes stand out. (Click on pic to enlarge)
Another TTX MAXI IV with graffiti -and more variety among containers styles, including both exterior post and fully corrugated.
SND40 snakes through the yard. Note the different roof styles; the fully corrugated containers have roofs to match, while the exterior post containers have the traditional flat roofs.
Pushing hard on the stacks is a mid-train helper -1976 in DPU (Distributed Power Unit) mode!

The end of the train is near -stay tuned next week!
