PASSING TRAINS PT 31; SND40

 Train SND40, the New York-Dayton, Oh. Schneider National intermodal train rolls through Hillsdale...

Rolling behind a pair of almost-new ET44AC's, SND40 enters the yard, with 517 on the point.
528 is the second unit. (Nor coincidentally, 5/17 and 5/28 are my parent's birthdays!)
The Athearn 75th Anniversary unit is sitting in the yard, as SND40 rolls past.
The first car is an FEC (Florida East Coast) 53' Husky Stack  It is also an all-purpose car, with hitches at both ends. Note the two different shades of orange; the top container is an ex-Martin box, and still has a white roof!
CIEX 2002 is a three-unit, drawbar-connected, NSC 53' well car, and a frequent member of both SND40 and the eastbound SDN40.
Another frequent sight in these trains are Gunderson MAXI IV well cars, such as this one. This is the A unit.
The middle C unit.
The B unit, which has the brake wheel.

More of the train next week.
