PASSING TRAINS PT 46; IC49 PT 3

 The conclusion of IC49...

A number of Hapag Lloyd containers are in the train, including these two. Note that the top box on the next well is an open top riding a reefer box.
A variety of containers ride in a Trinity 40' well car. Because of the 40' wells, 45' containers have to be top stacked on 40's.
A rebuilt Thrall well car has a ZIM open top in the top position. This was formerly a 48' well car, but was cut down to a 40' well car since 48' containers are now rare.
The variety of companies, colors and container types are evident from this photo; conventional 40' steel boxes (both standard 8'6" height and high-cube 9'6" height), open top containers (with the blue tarps) and even a reefer box (the white container).
A new MAXI I well car carries a pair of K-Line containers among others.
China Shipping, COSCO, and MCC represent the Chinese element. China Shipping and COSCO recently merged to create Cosco Shipping, as seen by the light blue container.
Another Cosco Shipping box presents a better look at the new corporate image, as it rides below a Hatsu Marine box.. Note they're riding in another rebuilt 48' well car; this one a Gunderson.
The final car is yet another rebuilt Thrall 48' well car, with a K-line 45' box atop an orange Uniglory 40' box.
