PASSING TRAINS PT 19; DN39 PT1

 Another day, another intermodal train...

DN39, the Dayton, Oh-NYC intermodal, rolls in.

Today, the train is led by a pair of GE ES44AC's; AP&W 9485, and NS' Southern-painted Heritage unit 8099.

The first car is a dirty well car, with a pair of C.R. England reefer boxes,.

The second car is a CIE INTERMODAL three-unit car, with a pair of CIE INTERMODAL containers stacked in the first well. Note the top container is a reefer, as are the C.R. England containers in the next well.

A string of JB Hunt boxes, including reefers. Note the rare (on the East Coast) grey "Ocean Certified" container. These are much more common on the West Coast.

A broadside view of 9485, showing the missing frame striping on the front(!), as it passes the AEI readers.

And trailing unit 8099, showing off her green and white paint. She has since gotten both her side lettering and end heralds touched up, as well as being updated with PTC equipment. (While I'm happy with this Intermountain unit, Scale Trains is doing 8099 as she currently appears. And I have a growing fleet of Scale Trains locos. Possibility?)

More DN39 next week.
