HOLIDAY WEEKEND PT 3

 More from the weekend of the Fourth, when two trains with special units met in Hillsdale...

Finishing up IC49...

A re-painted MAXI I stack car rounds the corner, with a pair of 20' containers below a 45' "K" Line box.

Another 45-footer, this one a Maersk, rides a white ONE box, followed by a pair of 20' tank containers. Due to the combined weight of the (loaded) tanks, no containers are stacked on top.

A new AP&W Trinity well car shows the first two of its five wells. Note the "Thrall" design of the car; Trinity bought its competitor in 2001, but largely kept the design intact.

Two more of the wells, displaying a variety of companies; note the "K" Line refrigerator container underneath the 45 MSC box.

The final well has another MSC box, with another 45' box in the top spot; this one a magenta ONE box.

A re-built Gunderson well car, with the red logo.

Another rebuilt Gunderson, with a "patch" logo.

Another Gunderson car, this one an un-rebuilt Husky Stack 48' well car, which has been repainted with the new logo. Note the two CMA CGM containers have different paint schemes -neither of which match the container in the previous car!

Another rebuilt Thrall ex-48' well car, this one still with the old logo. The first well must have a pair of heavily loaded 20-footers, as there is no container on top of them.

The rest of the car has more containers from a variety of operators (why I love international traffic!). 

The final well has a pair of UASC containers; the top one is leased, hence the brown color -and small lettering.

The final car is a rebuilt Thrall well car, with the new logo and a CIE box on top.

Next week, the other train, led by the America units, takes center stage!
