PASSING TRAINS PT 45; SND40 PT 2

 The America Units have returned to Hillsdale for the 4th of July with SND40, the New York City- Dayton, Oh. Schneider intermodal special.

The three units round the curve on their way out of town.
A three-unit MAXI IV car, with orange and white containers.
The darker top container is one of the ex-Marten boxes.
The bottom container is leased from EMP through the "OPTIMODAL" venture.
Both top containers seen here are rare solid white boxes. Most Schneider equipment is orange, although on occasion, you can see a white trailer or a semi tractor in grey, white, or even black!
Another MAXI IV car, with a variety of container styles. Note the faded paint on the top center box.
More orange! Railfans love these trains, as the (almost) solid orange consist of containers remind them of another orange train of old - the Tropicana Juice Train between Florida and New Jersey!

More Schneider next week.
