PASSING TRAINS PT 32; DBC47 PT 1

 Another intermodal freight rolls into town...

DBC47, the D.C./Baltimore to Chicago intermodal, is led by brand-new ET44AC 517.
517 shows off her clean looks.
The second engine is re-painted WABTEC/GE demo unit 2029.
The train stops for a rare crew change; normally the change occurs in Columbus, Ohio.
New (in 2017) operator XPO Logistics is aboard, as is another new operator, DRT Logistics.
Swift is old, but Estes Freight is another newbie to the intermodal game.
An older red HUB Group box is in the lower position, while a USA Trucking box is on top.
Another Estes container atop a White Arrow box.
Yet another new intermodal operation is Werner Enterprises Intermodal, featuring blue containers to match their trailers. The days of all-white domestic containers are over!

More colorful containers next week!
