AMERICA UNITS ON MEMORIAL DAY

This Memorial Day weekend, what better sight to see than the America Units?

With 1776 in the lead, as usual, the trio rolls into town, with yet another intermodal train, CDB47, their normal assignment.

Among the cars in the train is this Gunderson Maxi IV stack car. No, TTX hasn't adopted a new paint scheme! This car is a former Pacer Stack Train car that Trailer Train purchased when BRAN divested itself of rolling stock. A similar situation occurred in the 90's, as shippers Maersk and K-Line owned stack cars for a period, before leaving the car ownership business.

Another TTX-owned car is this one. It, to, is a 'pre-owned' car, this time ex-Providence & Worcester.

Another TTX Maxi IV, this time in the normal yellow, but with graffiti.

Yet another Maxi IV, but this time owned by the Arkansas & Oklahoma.

The train is ended by still more Maxi IV's, the near one is BNSF, the last one is TTX, and both, like most of the train, are carrying Schneider boxes, in both traditional orange and white.
