More New Old Lindsay Reefers

 A couple more former Scotts Refrigerated reefers (now owned by Lindsay Transport)

RAND 402 with the RAND logos now removed.

LTCD 461509 now fully marked, was a former ARLS.

Enjoy!

NR30 Great Southern

Always happy to score a coloured NR.  This one was leading PS7 during September through Mittagong Junction.

Enjoy! 

 

Fullerton California

Spent a cloudy Saturday at Fullerton California.  During the day, over a 6 hour period I managed to grab 9 BNSF freights running between passenger services.  

I think everything was GE with lead units Gevos, but scored a few Warbonnets, a H1 dash 9 and quite a few H2 painted units.  

7 trains were stacks, one was TOFC and ended the day with a big 7 unit lash up on a manifest.

Enjoy!

Rail Motor 721/621

Scored this treat during September, running on the main south.

NR52 - RUOK Day

14th September is RUOK Day.

Here is a shot of NR52 with full side branding taken a few days earlier racing towards Melbourne.

Straight Link CS Leasing Containers

Historically, CS Leasing boxes with Toll Shipping were recoded to a 'TS' prefix, such as TSHB for 20ft bulk container.  With Toll Shipping now Straight Link, the TS has been replaced with 'SL' prefix on the leased CSL boxes.

Below are a few SLZU (CS Leasing) recode examples.

The 20ft bulk containers are SLHB and appear in both the 511 and 512 series boxes.  

The 40ft High Cubes are SLFD and are the most recent run of 740 series boxes, with sighting within the range of 740471 to 740745, indicating potentially more than 300 of them.

Go Pies - Austrans Repaint

This old Seacell was just repainted by Austrans to support the 2023 AFL minor premiers, the Collingwood Magpies.

I was pretty stoked to get it this morning on MS2, Sydney bound.

It has been recoded from AUSU to PREM and numbered 2023.

Great work by the Austrans team, and what a unique box to send around the country!

Enjoy! 

Qube QL019

Qube's Reconciliation Action Plan includes an artwork by Sydney based indigenous artist Darren Charlwood.  The artwork titled 'Yindyamarra' is a Wiradjuri word that describes respect, gentleness, kindness and balance.  

The artwork has been applied to both QL019 and QL020 and includes indigenous trade routes.

Here QL019 is leading two leased CF units on 3966 grain from the Riverina to Port Kembla, passing through Bargo.

Enjoy!

ARLS Not Recoded

Posted back in June was a blog about ARLS reefers being marked and branded for Lindsay Transport.  So far there are around 7 that have been completed and are LTCD 461501-461507, however one or two do have any logos.

I had heard that an ARLS reefer had be rebranded but not recoded.  Today was the day for a shot, with this reefer passing through on PS7.

Here is ARLS 448, carrying the original road number but fully marked for Lindsay Transport.

Cronos Half Heights

Been a few Cronos (Seaco) CSXU half heights transferring back up north on PN intermodal jobs.  Here are a few from last week.

Enjoy!
