PASSING TRAINS PT 45; SND40 PT 3

 SND40 is passing through Hillsdale on the Fourth of July...

A BNSF car is in the consist. Like Most of the well cars, this is a Maxi IV.
Another Maxi IV, with another white container.
A lone spine car in in the middle of the consist.
FEC 70605 is an all-purpose 53' well car, and it shows its utility here, with a trailer in the well instead of containers. The rest of SND40 is a separate block that will be headed to St. Louis, where the BNSF will take it to Los Angeles.
A graffitied Maxi IV carries a variety of containers, including a Hyundai box in the top position of the lead well.
The last well has a pair of ex-Marten containers; this view shows the un-repainted white roof of the top box. Note also, the darker shade of orange. Not as easily seen is the dropping of "National" from the logo, a recent change.
Another white container in a surprisingly clean stand-alone 53' Husky Stack well car.

A final look at SDN40 next week.
