PASSING TRAINS PT 26; CDB47 PT 2

 Train CBD47 continues...

The first car is AP&W 96011, a brand-new 5-unit articulated well car, with 40' wells. The A unit features the AP&W "Star" logo, along with a well-worn MOL container atop a Hatsu Marine box.
The E unit (articulated cars have an "A" end and a "B" [brake] end, intermediate units are lettered from the "B" end) has no reporting marks or logo. A Dong Fang box rides a UASC box leased from Triton, hence the brown color instead of the more common green.
The D unit only has the small logo, along with a rusty APL container atop a China Shipping box.
The C unit, like the E unit, lacks either reporting marks or a logo, but does have a patched CNC Line container atop a Hapag Lloyd box.
The B unit has both the reporting marks and the logo. It also has a 45' Cronos container atop a 40' APC box.
A white ONE container rides in a ex-48' All-Purpose well car cut down to 40'. On top is a rusty K Line box. Following are several more ONE containers, both in white and magenta -note the colors of the container and lettering are reversed on each scheme. The next car is also rebuilt from a 48' well car into a 40' car -this time a 5-unit articulated car.
Another ex-48' well car is this Thrall car, with a NYK Logistics 45' container atop a 40' GOLD box. The next car is another rebuilt 40' Thrall car with another leased UASC box atop a HMM box.
A Gunderson MAXI I stack car has several loaded 20' containers in its last two wells, including a UASC box in the traditional green. as well as a pair of tank containers. The car also has the new red TTX logo, and is the last car hauling international containers.

Next week, the domestic container part of CDB47 begins!
