THE MAERSK TRAIN PT3

Finishing up the Maersk Shipper's Special...

A 45' container rides on top of  a pair of 20's in the "A" unit of MAEX 10037. The small boxes are late 70's era containers, and have the paint scheme to match. Contrast those with the Maersk Sealand units in the next well.

The "E" unit of the car shows the large "billboard" look of the Maersk Sealand scheme, versus the plain look of the earlier paint schemes.

Another set of 45' on 40' Maersk Sealand containers in the "D" unit, but note the bottom container is a darker shade of gray.

The "C" unit has a variation of the 45' on 40' theme; the 45 footer is in the traditional Maersk paint scheme, while the 40 footer is not only in Maersk paint, but is also a reefer. Maersk paints its reefer boxes white.

The final unit of the car is the "B" unit, which continues the 45-on-40 theme. Note the blue decal on the bottom container appears to be faded compared to the top container.

Almost matching the blue of the train, and certainly matching the locomotive, is Athearn bay window caboose 1196. A caboose on the end of a stack train is a rare treat; a caboose with a decal celebrating Operation Lifesaver's 25th anniversary is truly special!
