US RoadRailers

I've always loved Trailerails when they operated in Australia, and it was a highlight to see a Roadrailer service while I was in Pennsylvania earlier this year.  There are rumours that Roadrailers will cease in the near future, so I was thrilled to get this daylight service heading east at Lilly PA.

This service had 148 trailers in the consist!

The shots are a selection of the various types of trailers and logos in regularly service with NS/Triple Crown.  

Enjoy!
