Great video, cool new products

[@EvanstonSub]

Thanks for watching!

[@davidl.miller8168]

Daryl, In the film you showed of the prototype, most of the containers were also 40ft containers

[@EvanstonSub]

Yes, but the 53' containers on the UP are mostly dark colors as well.

[@zaklex3165]

@@EvanstonSub I can tell you that all Swift 53' containers are white, same with Pride and the other smaller OTR carriers with containers...but most of those are on BNSF, like with JB Hunt.

[@richardboeslund3779]

UP has a LOT of orange and green containers and not very many blue and white containers. You see a lot of blue and white containers on BNSF trains

[@EvanstonSub]

Lots of blue Pacer and APL

[@faithsaguindan5306]

That dark blue container is actually owned by Seaco Srl, a container leasing company.

[@EvanstonSub]

Good to know

[@conrailfan6277]

Great video Daryl, I saw a lot of 20 footers and forty footers in that train too!!

[@EvanstonSub]

Yes, it was. I have stayed away from 20-footers because they are less cost effective to fill a train. I do need to add some variety.

[@schmidtw900]

I am the same way . I love Athearn Genesis due to detail and the TSU2. I love Scale Trains Rivet Counters due to lighting features, details and weight! They are great pullers. LOVE THE PROGRESS btw !! Hope to see some more 40' well cars and containers as well!! Have a great week!!

[@EvanstonSub]

Couldn't agree more!

[@WyanoPenna]

Glad to see the new stack train, we actually discussed this very thing when I met you at Amherst

[@EvanstonSub]

I remember that

[@user-gu8mp6yy4m]

I took my white containers and painted them in different colors. And then placed them on the bottom of container stacks in my yard. They make good fillers.

[@EvanstonSub]

Good idea

[@kcsthebetterway]

We had a short on the Free-mo setup at the 2010 NTS IN Milwaukee that we spent over three hours troubleshooting. Turned out it was a Walthers flat car, the owner installed new metal wheels that were shorting against the weights! P.S. What no KCS in the haul 😊

[@EvanstonSub]

Next time for the KCS

[@jazzlife1]

Man Darryl your layout progress has given me hope of one day building my dream layout

[@EvanstonSub]

Don't just dream. Do it!!!

[@jeffklein602]

The CSX mainline near Rotterdam Junction NY is my back property line. I never see any white containers FYI.

[@EvanstonSub]

Interesting. I wonder if maybe its an era issue with containers of the 90s and 00s being white and more recent containers being darker colors.

[@mattw9667]

I was going to say that you only have 53 footers. Most international traffic is 40 ft. You also don't have any 20ft containers.

[@EvanstonSub]

I have another train with international 40 footers.

[@fnava1987]

The white EMP and NACS are older containers

[@EvanstonSub]

I heard the older ones are aluminum while the newer ones are steel. I guess Aluminum does better with white paint.

[@John-bf4zt]

Awesome haul from Lombard hobbies! Now you still need a few of the 53 foot dark blue UMAX containers from Walthers and you will be all set

[@EvanstonSub]

Oh yes! Been on the lookout for UMAX

[@zaklex3165]

@@EvanstonSub Those Pacer boxes should have UMAX reporting marks as that is what the UP put them in when they bought out the Pacer boxes from Pacer(no longer in existence).

Your comment of the “last” loco you’re gonna buy made me laugh!! 😂 A friend got out of the hobby and gifted me many scale trains and Genesis locos - I too said no more locos. Lasted a few months. Though nowadays, when I buy a UP loco, I weather it and resell it. Another great video. Looking forward to seeing the rock molds and scenery at the tunnels!!

I also had one problem with extra flesh and „melted“ clear plastic where the lights are of an NS ET44AC by ScaleTrains. Unfortunately it can’t easily send things back from Europe so I have to fix it by myself.

[@EvanstonSub]

Wow. Haven't had that issue yet. Sending them back here in the US takes about 3-4 weeks to get the unit back.

[@charlesbingham7703]

I haul rail containers from rail yard to rail yard around the Chicago area, especially from the union pacific. White containers are quite common especially the earlier 1990s Era versions. Many are still in use today. But the darker color cans are becoming more common. Note that it is also because of a change in materials used to build the newest can. Corrugated sheet steel, the same steel used on the 40 ft international cans. So I really don't think you have to sell off the white can, but adding more of the newer style cans as well. Yes, I model intermodal trains myself. Basically modeling what I commonly see.

[@EvanstonSub]

Thanks, so much for the information. Always good to hear from the professionals!

[@willieallen5724]

Mix up your containers and would suggest using white containers for TOFC Service.

[@EvanstonSub]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@chty97a]

The 40’ and 20’ containers are mostly used for international ports. 53’ containers are for domestic service in USA.

[@EvanstonSub]

Correct. In both cases, UP containers are dominantly darker colors.

[@sharonfieber6458]

Bunch of 20 foot containers (all we saw in New Zealand). Tanker containers? CN see mix of 40, 48 and 53 well cars.

[@EvanstonSub]

Yes, I still need to mix it up a bit.

[@dirtthunder1638]

20', 40' and 45' are internationally shipped and are not often mixed with domestic 53' and 48' on the same train. We see what some call "land bridge container trains" that are all international containers and some trains all 53' domestic containers. UP and CPKC have contracts with Schneider and we see lots of their Orange containers here.

[@EvanstonSub]

Thanks. I do keep the 53 and 48 footers separate from the 40 and 45 for the most part.

[@michaelsmeltzer1105]

Daryl, the “white” containers are of aluminum construction, vs the others that are steel boxes. Railroads are phasing out the aluminum boxes as they damage to easily and replacing with steel boxes. Still a nice looking train…

[@EvanstonSub]

Very interesting. Thanks for the information.

[@zaklex3165]

Also, most of the white containers are owned by OTR companies and for the most part those will be one BNSF(yes, they do mostly populate BNSF stack trains). Pacer boxes are mostly UMAX reporting marks as that's what they UP put them into service for when they bought them.

[@zaklex3165]

The vast majority of JB Hunts containers are white regardless of what they're made from, same with most of the other OTR companies other than Schneider National, the only ones that I'm aware of that are not white since they're orange. Even some of Amazon's containers are white, though far more are blue.

[@michaelsmeltzer1105]

Further to my comment concerning Daryl’s train in the video. Those white containers NACS and the EMPU containers that are white with exterior side posts are aluminum boxes. There are certainly white steel boxes out there plus other owners that are still utilizing aluminum boxes. My comment was as it related to the train in the video. The UP (their containers start with a 2) and NS (whose start with a 6) and until recently CP (started with an 8) were phasing out aluminum boxes and going to steel. The green EMP boxes are the replacement steel ones…

Daryl I understand your love affair with the EMD SD70ace locomotives they are amazing machines; I myself have a fancy for the SD70aec-BB which are used on the meter gauge railroads of Brazil unfortunately no one is producing models of these eight axle behemoths.

[@EvanstonSub]

Wow. Never knew that existed. Sounds cool though

[@josephreed5155]

Many white containers are JB Hunt. Their logistics pattern does not feed the Evanston Sub

[@EvanstonSub]

Yep, JBhunt is all BNSF. I do not have any one the layout

[@seanbast6707]

BNSF does a lot of white containers because they have the contract to JB Hunt so in the Pacific Northwest there's a lot of white containers just to let you know

[@EvanstonSub]

I'll defiantly keep a few and mix them in.

[@zaklex3165]

It's $31.98, hard to tell because the 3 is distorted by the letter that's right over.

[@EvanstonSub]

You are correct

[@TomKlimczak]

It's not just white containers. You need more 40 footer overseas boxes. Too many 53 footers. You won't see many 45 or 48 footers any more.

[@EvanstonSub]

49 footers are usually on a separate train. Domestic (53) vs international (40)

[@MrRickSteele]

Can't you use some in a intermodal yard. I am from Oakland, CA and not only are there zillions that have arrived near the port, many are stored around the city.

[@brandonmelconian5048]

Daryl, The train on your layout is a domestic container and the prototype would be an equivalent of a port stack train (over seas). I wouldn’t sell your white containers, but you do you!

[@oubrioko]

JB Hunt and UPS are BNSF's largest intermodal customers. In the late 1980s, JB Hunt agreed to shift its truckload long haul carriage segment to rail with Sante Fe (ATSF). At that time, it was entirely a TOFC trailer operation. During the 1990s, Hunt slowly began transitioning to 48' domestic intermodal containers. The relationship grew and broadened when Sante Fe merged with Burlington Northern in the mid-1990s. Eventually, the 53' domestic container supplanted its 48' predecessor, and by the late 2010s, 48' domestic containers started becoming obsolete. Although UPS also does some business with Union Pacific at times, they ship a much broader volume of their UPS Ground transcontinental traffic with BNSF in containers and pup trailers. All UPS and JB Hunt domestic containers are painted white. So, you will see a lot more white containers on BNSF than you will on Union Pacific. Union Pacific hauls their jointly owned UMAX (with CSX) and EMP (with Norfolk Southern) containers in large numbers, along with Hub Group who ride exclusively on UP west of Chicago. Hub Group is JB Hunt's direct competitor, thus Hub's arrangement with UP is similar to Hunt's arrangement with BNSF. In your prototype video clip, those containers are mostly international maritime (ocean) boxes that can be seen stacked on huge ocean-going container ships. International maritime containers are mostly 40' or 20' - while a smaller number are 45'. These international maritime containers should not be confused with 53' domestic containers. While you will see ocean and domestic containers mixed within the same trains, more often you'll see them in separate trains or at least in separate blocks within the same train, given that they are different service levels, with different shipping rates, priorities, delivery schedules,etc. For example, you do not often see (20-40-45') ocean boxes on a Z-train. Ocean boxes are generally lower priority intermodal service on North American Class 1 railroads. *Eastbound* ocean boxes are pretty much all imports from Asia. *Westbound* ocean boxes may be exports, west coast bound domestic freight booked at a backhaul rate, or empties, due to the significant international trade imbalance. Most of the maritime shipping companies have colorful containers, so you won't see many white containers amongst a train of ocean boxes unless the container is a reefer. *Domestic containers:* 53' (48' obsolete), often high priority Z-trains *International maritime (ocean) containers:* 20-40-45' , often lower priority stack trains *BNSF:* plenty of white JB Hunt and UPS domestic containers *UP:* fewer white containers

[@EvanstonSub]

Thanks for the info. Very useful

[@zaklex3165]

You're wrong about Hub Group riding exclusively on UP west of Chicago...I still a lot of Hub Group containers on BNSF stack trains in California...the ones exclusive to UP are the EMP containers on long term lease to Hub and those can only go on the EMP network railroads. Hub owned containers can go anywhere just like OTR as they're considered private. Hub Group is the largest independent third party intermodal logistics provider and has contracts with all of the Class 1 carriers for intermodal. I worked for MCS/Pacer for 17 years during the 90's early 2000's.

[@oubrioko]

@@zaklex3165 Haven't seen a _single_ *Hub Group* on BNSF since 2012, after Hub began switching to UP in 2009 in reaction to BNSF's embrace of loading asset-based intermodal providers exclusively. BNSF embargoed third party pool-based equipment and discontinued their relationship with IMCs. The U.P. - Hub agreement was forged in the wake of that BNSF policy adoption, given that Hub relied upon both their own equipment as well as third party asset equipment pools to meet peak capacity and availability demands. We've _never_ lifted a single HUBU, HBIU HGWU, HUNU, NHUU, NHWU, or UPHU *Hub Group* container at *BNSF Logistics Park KC* since we moved from Argentine/Turner to Gardner, KS 10+ years ago. Not a _single_ lift. The _only_ red or green Hub containers that roll past here on the transcon are on UP trackage rights trains or on occasional foreign line detours.
