Mail going through |
Description: |
A Union Pacific trailer being spotted at the old EL 51st Street yard, now a Conrail facility. They changed the flow so you came in and out on 47th St, which had a real killer of an underpass to turn through as you came out the driveway. There were supports in the middle of the street. Lots of fun with a 53. This UP trailer is a little shorter than that, so no problems. Whats notable is the US Mail tractor, which would have brough the trailer down from the Post Office near Union Station. Now, the USPS uses contractors for their road moves, and the familiar blue and white tractors are long gone. Seen from the Broadway, heading for Union Station. |

Ten pack |
Description: |
In the late 70s/early 80s, ATSF tried out several applications of articulated intermodal cars. One such was a 10 Pack Fuel Foiler, which was a set of 10 stripped down platforms for carrying highway trailers. The reduced tare weight was intended to reduce fuel consumption, as was the lower profile. In that regard, they were a success; I suspect having 10 units together was not the most efficient way to manage consists. There was also a 6 unit version. Containerization of even domestic freight eventually changed the game again, but these cars were a good start in the right direction for fuel efficiency. |

Short line trailer |
Description: |
One way some smaller roads made money was by leasing piggyback trailers. Most of you have, Im sure, seen Vermont Railway vans at some point-they had a good sized fleet at one point. One of the more unusual fleets was Erie Western, which ran a portion of the Erie main across Indiana for a few years in the late 70s after EL quit. Interesting that they, of all roads, should have a fleet of trailers. Heres one at Alexandria VA in 1984 |

No one would have believed you |
Description: |
Ten years earlier, if you had suggested to anyone that the NYSW would not only be running coast to coast container trains, but would also have a fleet of stack cars, they would have thought you were totally nuts. Yet in 1988, I watch as a stack car with NYSW reporting marks pulls away from me in western NY, on a train headed for a west coast port. Railroading sure is strange. These are the Gunderson cars, which differ from the well cars in that they have a bulkhead that holds the top box in place, as opposed to it being locked to the bottom container as is done with the well car. |

Mismatch |
Description: |
In the early days of stack trains, the cars and boxes were largely owned by the steamship lines, and run under contract. TTX and individual railroads had yet to make significant presence in the car fleet. As a result, APL boxes rode on APL stack cars, Sea Land on Sea Land cars(with NYSW reporting marks), etc. So it was quite unusual to find this situation, Sea Land containers in an APL well car. Here it is, on SLN 4 at the north end of East Binghamton yard. This photo also serves to show the difference in 40 and 45 foot containers. Note the frame posts are 40 feet apart, with the larger size accommodated by extending the box on either side of the 40 foot posts. That way, all sizes can stack. |

Man, those things are tall |
Description: |
One of the things that impressed me immediately about stack trains was how tall they were, as demonstrated by this shot taken at Mc Master St in Owego. There were places where you could pace a train really close to the tracks: NY 17C between Campville and Owego(MP 230-232) and several places near Cameron in the Canisteo valley come to mind. You really noticed a 20 foot wall moving alongside you at 50 MPH. |

Ex NYSW stack car |
Description: |
Once the initial frenzy over double stacks played out and they became more common, and when the NYSW was no longer the designated operator for the D&H, some of the equipment they used in the first days of the Sea Land service went to CSX. Heres one of those cars on Conrail at Syracuse, ironically on an APL train, which had always been a Conrail customer. Ironically, elsewhere in this album, I have a shot of Sea Land stacks in an APL well car. Go figure!! |

TV 20 from the rear |
Description: |
Southern Tier stack trains didnt usually get JB Hunt traffic, so this was a treat. Here are a 48 foot Thermacube container, and a 53 foot van. The van was relatively new at the time, judging by the 36000 series number. Ahead of the van are several 48 foot plateside containers. They are not insulated-the Thermacubes are-as a result have an inch or two more inside space. That may not seem like much, but when loading products like paper goods-think paper towels and toilet paper-that extra inch can mean more cases in the box. That's important, since those loads usually cube out long before weight becomes an issue. A 53 foot plateside box loaded tight with paper goods will weigh in between 25-and 27,000 lbs. That will give one of our road tractors with that container a gross weight of about 62,000 lbs. |

Schneider man |
Description: |
Despite being one of the major truckers, and a big user of TOFC, Scheider was slow to take on containers, which JB Hunt had done by the early 90s. This Schneider box on a westbound NS train was therefore something of a novelty. There are a lot more of these now. |

A million |
Description: |
In October 2010, JB Hunt marked their millionth intermodal load carried that year, the first time they had reached that milestone. In honor of the occasion, they had several containers painted in this special scheme. One was parked outside the main office for all of us to see. I dont recall how many were painted this way, and I think I saw maybe one of them on the road. By the time I retired in May 2014, they were loading almost 2 million containers each year. |

Old pig trailers sometimes find a second life, a lot of them as storage trailers-look how many are pushed out behind a warehouse somewhere-or as road units for someone else once the railroads lease is up. Here is one such, spotted at Ozark Electronic Repair, far from its northern origins, now owned by a local trucking operaton that provides, among other things, trailers for storage. |

Former NYSW car |
Description: |
As explained elsewhere in this album, NYSW had a fleet of Gunderson cars they acquired when the first Sea Land trains started up in the mid 80s. After CP took over the D&H, and NYSW was no longer the designated operator, CSX, who had funded the lease, took the cars back. A good number of them are still in service, such as this one on NS in Mabelvale GA. |

Original Sea Land |
Description: |
Back when stack trains were a big new thing, and Walter Rich had done an end run around Conrail with his Jersey-Binghamton haulage rights, he landed a contract to carry Sea Land boxes in a land bridge arrangement with BN, Chessie, and the D&H. It was a greater distance and took longer than APLs route via UP, CNW and Conrail, but somehow, they won the business, partly because Chessie had an interest in Sea Land. As a result, NYSW acquired a fleet of Gunderson stack cars, one of which we see here with a Maersk box in the lower position, headed north on the CSX Lineville Sub. |

Schneider man, Schneider man, does whatever a Schneider can... |
Description: |
Schneider National Carriers was an early adopter of intermodal, along with JB Hunt, putting sizeable volumes of TOFC on the rails by the mid 90s. I can recall going to the Santa Fe at Willow Springs and KC to find that we had our own section, and the other dedicated lot was Schneiders. Where JB got into containers early-they already had around 15000 by the time I started driving there in 1995-Schneider was a little slower to get into that form, though once they realized the cost advantage of double stacking, they were in. We see one of their newer boxes on a northbound CSX train on the Lineville Sub. What I don't understand is why it's on the top, and not the JB box!! |
