| Description: |
Given the way equipment gets leased, comes off lease, gets sold, etc, it should be no surprise that some of it winds up patch painted, such as this pair of former EMP boxes, seen on the northbound 181 train south of Decatur on the KCS |

APL logo |
| Description: |
Back in the day when stack trains were still something of a novelty, American President Lines had a large eagle on their containers, and their trains were long strings of these boxes, stretched out for more than a mile. Now the logo has changed, and its APL Logistics. More accurate than the eagle, but a lot less impactful. This one is on the KCS, on the 181 train |

Fast!! |
| Description: |
I was following a 181 train north, the usual block of containers on the head end. What was new, were these Fastfrate containers, a line I had not seen before. From the maple leaf, it was apparent they originated in Canada, a new business segment moving across North America. |

U Line |
| Description: |
JB Hunt has some containers co branded for U Line, a packaging supply house that makes/sells a variety of packaging materials, bubble wrap, cardboard cartons, etc. This one was on a westbound stack train crossing Sheridan Rd in Tulsa as we were making our way to the White River Fish Market, a fish purveyor and restaurant just the other side of this crossing-in fact, you can see trains from the window seats in the restaurant. This was one of three trains we saw while eating there that evening. |
