Trash containers

[NW Mailing List]

You know guys, containers and shipping data are covered in a JANE's
publication that is produced for logistics people around the world to use as
a reference.  This is very similar to the ICC Car classification car
registry book in that a whole lot of information is provided so that the
shipper can select the right way to ship his products.  See JANE's
Publications for the book info.

Russ,

 

Thanks for the info.  I suspected that the landfill at Bradshaw (Smith Gap
Landfill) could be the destination, but I am curious to see if anyone knows
for certain.  If so I wonder how the "trashtainers" are unloaded.  The Waste
Line Express cars are rotary dumped at the landfill, but I understand the
"trashtainers" have an end gate and are designed to be raised at the
opposite end to be unloaded like the bed of a dump truck.

Gordon;
 
The CoalTainers have gone into trash service within the past decade. They
come out of the NY/NJ - Philly area and go tovarious dump sites in the
southeast. I've seen them on CSX Trash Trains through Richmond, VA. Since
you saw the run west through Roanoke, I would suspect that they are headed
to the waste containment facility in Bradshaw, VA, where the WasteLiners go.
 
David Casdorph; of Atlas and Freight Car Journal fame, just released a book
on the Trash Containers of New Jersey, which is available through Atlas and
Amazon, amongst others, I'm sure; was "featured" on a clip on Jimmy Fallon's
late night show of books not on his "To Read" list. This book was subject
including 4 or 5 others. The clip can be found on YouTube if anyone is
interested. A link can be found on the Atlas HO model forum.
 
I did see a copy of the book at my local hobby shop over the weekend and
looked through it. The CoalTainers are covered in this publication.

Regards,
Russ Goodwin

At about 11:15 a.m. today I saw some of the small (apparently 20-foot)
containers loaded six to a two-platform articulated flat car go west by the
Roanoke Rail Cam. There were 16 cars toting 96 containers. Some were marked
"CoalTainer," and I was previously told by some Mail Lister that they were
trash containers from New Jersey, as I remember it (so, I suppose these are
TrashTainers).  My question is, assuming they have trash in them, what is
their destination?
