HOLIDAY WEEKEND PT 5

 The end of July brings the end of the train meet from the Fourth, as we look at the conclusion of  IC208...

More EMP containers.
A pair of Swift containers.
A blue ex-Pacer Stack Train MAXI IV with a load of blue containers, including a pair of used containers now owned by leasing companies. The first containers are "ocean" containers, meaning that they can be used in international traffic, despite their 53' length; the top one is an ex-APL box. Incidentally, the middle top container is also an ex-Pacer unit like the car!
The tail end of the train is spine cars, carrying both containers and trailers. Werner is one of the trucking companies embracing intermodal, while DRT is a new player.
More trailers and containers, including a KLLM reefer trailer.
A Swift Veteran's tribute trailer provides a fitting end to both a patriotic month -and a pair of patriotic locomotive-led trains!
