Clariant Container

This bright red box was on MB4 this morning.  It looks to be a test lab for Clariant.

The box was marked as RWLU 825989-0.

A pair of Railroad Transport boxes in RRRY 7016.  These are RRTU 004098 and 004060.

Despite the well section only being 48ft deep, the a 53ft cartainer, AB025, rides above a SCFU half height side door.  

I love uneven loads, and this a good one.  A Toll TDDS 48ft box hangs 5'6 over a reefer box RAND 368.  The clearance above the reefer may have been required if it was required to power the container.

A shot from back in September of a small rigid truck on an SCT PQMY 4285.  

The truck looks to be about 6.5m long.

Another foreigner visited the easy coast earlier this month.  Previously a QQQY travelled along the east coast for a few trips, this time is was a former WAGR AQCY which made a surprise appearance.

Interesting Flat Racks

Below are some of the more interesting flat rack loads seen in November.  Most loads are on K&S 'KT' type flat racks, although there is a Toll one, and a few Cronos shipping 42P3 type flat racks also.

These certains certainly break up the monotony of domestic containers.

Enjoy!
