TRAIN MEET; PASSING TRAINS PT 22 (1)

Train CNY60 is stopped at the west end of Hillsdale Yard.
 

The reason: a meet with IC209. Thanks to a slowdown in global traffic, only one locomotive is needed to pull the train -9485 draws the honors.

IC209 is dedicated to international traffic, as seen here. Note the rust stains on the Maersk box.

One of the cars is owned by SFLC -the Santa Fe Leasing Co. Formerly owned by the Santa Fe Railroad, it became BNSF property after the merger. Note the brown UASC container; most of their containers are green, I believe the brown ones are leased.

Two MOL containers: one new, one old. MOL is now part of ONE (Ocean Network Express).

Another brown UASC box, among other colorful containers, including a rusty APL box.

A refrigerated K-Line container. K-Line, along with MOL is now part of ONE, the bottom container in the next car. The unusual color -magenta- was selected to honor Japan's famous cherry blossom trees!

Shipping containers can get dirty and rusty -note the Don Fang box. Of course, the MAXI I car it's riding in probably won't stay too clean either!

More of the train meet next week.
