PASSING TRAINS PT 46; IC49 PT 2

 IC49 stopped in Hillsdale for an unsecured container. Now, the container is re-secured, and the train is back on its way to Chicago...

ET44AC's 517 and 528 roll on through Hillsdale Yard after the stoppage.

As they pass downtown and leave the yard, the engineer opens up the throttle, the railroad equivalent of "hitting the gas."  Soon enough, they will have IC49 moving at track speed -45 mph.

The head end of the train is comprised of ONE containers, both 40' and 45'. The second 45 footer is a K-Line box.

Two MOL containers; a grey 40' box with the latest logo, and a green 45'box with the older logo.

Magenta and white ONE containers, with a MOL reefer -leased from SEACO.

More ONE's, with a non-standard grey K-Line box -most K-Line containers are red.

More MOL, K-Line and ONE, with NYK Line -all the (Japanese) partners who joined to create ONE (Ocean Network Express). Orange Hapag Lloyd containers are in the top positions following.

Several of the Hapag Lloyd containers are open-tops. These two are stacked atop CMA/CGM containers; note the first one has "eco container bamboo flooring" on its side. Bamboo grows faster than most trees, and is thus more readily renewable. Note also, that these containers are riding in an early Trinity well car, still in its as-delivered paint, but "patched" with the new red "heritage" logo, placed over the original "TT" logos.

More of IC49 next week.
