Intermodal

Thanks to Tim Stevens, Roman Litarchuk, and any others.

Over the past few years several shippers have been showing up on CP that were once CN customers. They still are but CP is getting a lot of business. These include maritime companies: CMA CGM, and Zim Intergrated Shipping. For the domestic market: H&R Transport, Maritime Ontario, Kleysen, Vitran, and National Fast Freight. Here is one container for Kleysen heading for Edmonton, Alberta on train 103. Not every train will have some, but you may get one, three, seven, or ten. Makes for a more intresting container train breaking up all the plain CPPU containers!!

This is what I use container shots for. I repaint detailed photo skin container cars for Microsoft Train Simulator.
