More SCT Curtain Sider

I managed to score SCTCS 001 on its return from Brissy to Melbourne.

Enjoy!

DRCX

What was a former brown FCL/Linfox 48ft dry box, is now DRCX 199.

This is the first DRCX box I have seen with the flat panel in the end section.

Enjoy!

Booth - PVDU ex Unit48

Got this pair of PVDU former Unit48 containers, with all Unit48 markings removed and Booth markings on the far end.

Enjoy!

New SCT Curtain Sider

This travelled up to Brissy yesterday on SCT's MB9 service.

It appears to be a fully refurbuished curtain sided container.  Now marked as SCTCS 001 with advertising across the top.

Looks brilliant!

Enjoy!

Ex Hanjin

You still get a few ex Hanjin light blue containers kicking around.  This one has had the brand painted out but still carries the HJMU code.  

This 45G1 container is loaded with logs bound for export.

Enjoy!

Battered Maersk Boxes

Maersk Sealand hasn't been a container branding for a number of years now, so most of these boxes would be around 10 years old.  Both are MSKU coded and are 45G1 type.  The second one has a decent patch repair job.  

Enjoy!

CMA CGM 20ft General Boxes

An interesting range of 20ft 22G1 boxes on the Kelso train last weej.  They all sort of look the same, but a few variations amongst them.

In the old letter font, SEGU 228162-6 is a leased box from Seaco.

CMAU 097079-2 is a CMA owned container in the new logo font.

TLLU 207805-1 is a leased container from TAL.  Commonly leased containers don't carry any additional advertising on the side like the one above and below.

TRHU 112564-0 is a leased Textainer, and interestingly carries the eco container bamboo flooring advertisment on the side.

Four containers which all look very similar, but owned by four different companies. 

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to everyone following my rollingstock Blog.  

Below is one of my all time favourite containers; a little half height 28T9 set of tanks WCGU 000341-6.  Its very unique and always interesting to spot, having only ever seen three of these 20ft half height tank arrangements.

Enjoy! 

Gas ISO Tank

A few gas ISO tanks heading into Sydney the other week.  Here is a selection.

AFLU 100291-2 is a 22K7 tank and carried Argon.

A Cryeng tank CRY 000335-7 which is a 22T9 tank and carrying Carbon Dioxide.  The container should be CRYU, but it lacks the 'U'.

Just got a shot before it disappeared under the bridge of CRYU 000341 which is also a 22T9 tank, and carrying Argon.

An Air Liquide tank with the simple code of IS 16-8, carrying Carbon Dioxide.

A SmartGAS tank SMAU 888037-1 which is a 22K7 also carrying Carbon Dioxide.

Enjoy!

Northline Curtain Siders

Appears that Northline are using both SCF and Royal Wolf leased containers.  A couple of different curtain siders turned up on a Perth to Sydney job last week.

Royal Wolf 40ft curtain sider RWTU 903156-4.

SCF 48ft curtain sider SCFU 815163-8

Enjoy!

Lindsay Transport New Reefers

Snapped a cool 5-pack load of new LTCD Lindsay Transport 46'6 reefers.

Post 1000 - SSR Power Vans

A bit of an unusual shot from Bendigo a few weeks back.  

Here are the pair of SSR power vans BVDY 51 and BVDY 52.  

51 has just been reactivated for haulage of the HCMT trains and 52 is being utilised on the XTrap transfer to Ballarat.

The vans supply power to the passenger consist to ensure various components and brakes are functional as no overhead power is available when the trains are towed.  

Enjoy!

Enjoy!

LYGU Folding Container

Managed to grab this on PS7 this morning.  It looks like a normal 45G1 container but has been modified so the sides fold down like a stage, in three equal lengths.

Something different.  The straps are probably a safety measure.

Enjoy!
