EXTRA 2022 PT1

 A brand-new locomotive is on the rails, passing through Hillsdale...

Scale Trains "demo" ES44AC 2022 is on its first revenue run! Here, the colorful engine leads an intermodal extra. (This was my birthday present!)
The first car is a Trinity 3-unit Twin 28/Triple 57, with a full compliment of Athearn 75th anniversary 53' trailers.
Next is a rare Thrall TWF10 48' well car, with a Class One Model Works 48' container in the well, and a 53' CIE container on top.
After the model mfg's equipment, a string of reefer trailers. In fact, the rest of the train is comprised of reefers! Here, a trio of FFE (Frozen Food Express) trailers follow a black reefer on a 5-unit spine car.
A Swift reefer is the last trailer on the car. The next car has a Wheels Clipper trailer and a pair of 53' reefer containers.
The containers are owned by Axsun Group and CIE Intermodal.
A look at the containers.
More reefer trailers and containers next week, as we finish Extra 2022.
