PASSING TRAINS PT 47; KCN87RIX PT 5

 The conclusion of KCN87RIX...

The second half of KCN87RIX is spine cars, most with trailers, as seen here.
J.B. Hunt and Alliance Shippers have both refrigerated containers and trailers in the train.
Wheels Clipper and an older Swift trailer.
Martin and FFE, with another Alliance Shippers reefer.
A look at the Alliance Shippers and FFE reefers.
KLLM reefer trailers round the curve out of town.
Martin also has both refrigerated containers and trailers in this train.
The EOT flashes as KCN87RIX leaves town. For now, it's aimed at perishable traffic, but don't be surprised if it winds up with priority dry goods as well! With a 25-hour transit time between K.C. and N.Y.C., this train will attract a lot of attention from shippers!
