Not many of these |
Description: |
JB Hunt has a vast container fleet. When I started there in 1995, there were approximately 10,000 53 foot boxes, and maybe 7000 48 footers, split between about 3000 Thermacubes(700000 series) and plate side(600000 series). By 2003, the 48s were gone, and the 53 foot fleet was expanding rapidly. A newer development was these 53 foot reefers, which came on around 2011. There are only several hundred of these, so catching one is a real find. This one is southbound on CSX. |

Banging the diamond |
Description: |
I rolled into Vinita to see a southbound on the UPs ex MKT line. My initial reaction was to turn and chase, since even with a relatively fast US 69 going south, it could still be a challenge to catch up. Then I thought, lets see if theres a train waiting on the BNSF. Sure enough, there was, and eastbound stack train. I rolled him by, getting some of the containers banging over the crossing. |

JB Hunt boxes |
Description: |
JB Hunt is a major user of intermodal, and has been since JB himself and Mike Haverty rode together on the Santa Fe back in 1990. Haverty wound up here on KCS, so its no surprise that JB Hunt boxes did too. These are northbound on the Q train. |
