Beacon Boxes

Following on from my previous post about the CAI and Beacon merger, I thought I would share a variety of Beacon container photos.  Most of these carry the BEAU code and all are 45G1 type.

Worth noting in my previous post, the brown BEAU container is sporting the most recent Beacon logo compared to the ones below.  

BEAU 420184-4 in the standard brown.  Seem there was a block of these around the 420 series.

BEAU 508988-9 is another stock standard brown container.

BEAU 537072-5 was a series of blue coloured containers which seemed to run in the 535-537 series.  Not sure if they were blue for a customer or just a colour change.  

Possibly built as BMOU 424829-7, this box was a former Hanjin container.  The markings suggest it was always a Beacon lease container.  

They even come in pink.  BEAU 525993-8 is marked for ONE and would no doubt be in a series.

I remember when I first saw these hybrid marked containers.  Obviously brown for Beacon but marked for CMA CGM (in the old style when the new logo was already appearing).  This style of marking is also very common for TS Lines who generally keep the leasing company colours but as TS Lines to the side of the box.  Anyway, a stack of these came out in the 400-413 series.  Here is the highest numbered one I have seen, being 413411-3.

Another brown CMA, this time BEAU 400043-4.

They came in blue also, and with the new logo.  There is a small Beacon logo on the end of this BEAU 467637-2.  The series appears to be 467-468.

Finishing with a strange one, this box is lettered for MSC and marked MSC, but has a Beacon logo on the end door.  MEDU 945044-4 is likely a lease box since it is in reverse MSC colours, being brown with yellow letter rather than yellow with black letters.  Ultimately not dissimilar to the CMA brown boxes.  

These are just a few shots I had at my finger tips.  Enjoy!
