Fletcher Diversion

Shot a diverted Fletcher / SSR service on the south a few weeks ago.

The usual triple FIE locos leading a healthy sized train.  FIE004 is due to debut in October as an additional loco the the Dubbo to Sydney freight task.

While a lot of the freight is frozen lamb, some of the meat is chilled to -1c, so needs constant power to maintain the right temp.  To do this, a generator in a container is used to supply power.  Here is GEN002 powering a couple of 22R1 reefers on wagon FRAY 04.

GEN002, a converted 22G1 container with a genset mounted inside.

Isn't this adorable?  Cosco Shipping marked 22R1 reefer.

Former Hanjin 22G1 box, now owned by Triton and marked as TLLU.

Enjoy!

 

Toll Shipping Reefers TSHR

A few updates on Toll Shipper 40+ foot reefers:

New reefers have started appearing with year 22 prefixes.  Photoed below are TSHR 2205 and 2206.  Interestingly they carry no Toll markings and also have a neat reflective rectangle around the perimeter.  The first box in the series is 2200, and I have seen 2208.

This was a neat catch; 5 x TSHR reefers on the same 5-pack.  Quite a selection of ages and brandings.

Noted in recent months is that Toll and Toll Shipping logos are being painted out.  These cover a number of series including the 13, 14, and 15 year series.  Some are better than others.  

To complete the story, the 21 year prefix containers are SCF leased units remarked from SCFU 821 series reefer into the Toll series of 21xx.  Obviously these don't carry Toll logos either. 

Anyone know why Toll logos are being painted out?

 

More Kitchens on the Run

Always interesting when Kitchens on the Run (https://korhire.com.au/) containers turn up on trains.

 A whole stack of Legend marked tanks (some owned and some leased) turn up on a Melbourne to Sydney service last week.  Here they are.
