PASSING TRAINS PT2; JBHTKC110 (1)

Last week, we saw a special train for trucking company Schneider National. This week, we'll see one for their rival, JB Hunt...

Train JBHTKC110, is a special Trenton, NJ. to Kansas City train for JB Hunt. Today, the train is lead by a pair of BNSF GE Dash 9-44CW's. BNSF handles a lot of Hunt equipment out west; the two railroads share a joint intermodal terminal in KC and often pool locomotives on these trains, hence the frequent sight of BNSF equipment rolling through Hillsdale!

While this is a JB Hunt train, the first two containers are BNSF and Swift!

Also on the head-end are UPS containers; this is a priority train, and the AP&W will add UPS and other priority intermodal freight to fill out the train whenever possible.

Both the older JB Hunt and newer JB Hunt Intermodal equipment are represented in the train, along with a BNSF stack car.

This view of BNSF 4567, shows off not only its fun number, but the main difference from her sister in front; the area below the lower stripe on the nose is orange instead of green. These two engines are from two different orders, thus the color change. Of course, today the BNSF has slightly different paint scheme -the green has been replaced by black, and a new logo adorns the nose and sides; however, the area under the lower stripe on the nose is now black instead of orange!
