White SLZU Bulker

Scored this unusual CS Leasing bulker today on an MB service.

SLZU 512422-0 is a 25B0 bulker with three top hatches and a pair of unloading slots in the end.  

What makes this box interesting is that it is the first CS Leasing box I have seen that it white.  All the other bulkers are the dark red/maroon colour as you can see to the left and right of this container in the photo.

Anyway, this box, along with another 200 or so were build for ammonium nitrate traffic, and the former placards were mounted to the cross-hatch area on the side of the container.  

Enjoy!

Team Global Express - New Containers

Happy New Year

In the lead up to the Christmas, plain green containers started appearing on PN rail services. While the green was similar to Toll, it was also very close to the Intermodal Solutions shade. The coding of INTR also suggested a possible lease container from Intermodal Solutions. 

Anyway, a few months on, and the mystery has been revealed!

40ft container INTR 4022096 was shot on a PN MB intermodal service with one of these containers sporting Team Global Express (TGE) markings.  

It is assumed that the INTR is a TGE code for their asset, with the numbering being the full 7 digits with no check letter.  It is expected that the '40' is for 40ft in length, the 22 is the year manufactured, and the last three digits are the unit number, so in this case it is box 096.

Team Global Express is the new name for Toll Global Express (which was formerly Toll).  The name change has come after Allegro acquired the Toll business from Japan Post in 2022.

Great looking container and hopefully more to come.

Enjoy!
