Prior Releases Some Still Available
Southern Pacific (new road #'s) Part #: DI-8032
Click photo to see large view
Southern Pacific's final decade of independence, saw a new image in the form of the "Speed Letter" logo and a new commitment to intermodal traffic. This group of 48' containers exemplifies both of these trends. The inclusion of the traditional SP Sunset logo on the nose and rear door of these containers added a lot of class. The focus of SP's intermodal efforts was on the Sunset Route from Southern California to New Orleans, St. Louis (over Cotton Belt,) and Chicago (over Gateway Western.) Following the merger with UP and as equipment trusts expired, many of these containers went to CSX and other operators.

Itel was a major player in the world transportation equipment leasing business. In North America, Itel rail cars, domestic and international containers, and chassis have been a common sight. Itel, along with Gelco and Cti would combine with Genstar to form the largest international lease fleet. The "48x102" refers to the length (in feet) and width (in inches) of these domestic containers.

Allied Van Lines Part #: DI-8250
Click photo to see large view
A moving company with intermodal containers? That's right! Several of Allied's franchisees operate 48' containers in both the rib side and smooth side design seen here. The prototype containers are equipped with flush fitting (to the point of being difficult to see) curb side doors in addition to the rear doors to speed loading and unloading. These containers do operate in stack train service and occasionally on chassis on flat cars. The two containers are sublettered for two different moving companies. One belongs to Bluebird Transfer of Vancouver, Washington (right across the river from Portland, Oregon.) The other is lettered for Moore's Moving & Storage of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Both prototypes were photographed in the same BNSF stack train racing across the Lower Mojave desert earlier this year. As you can see, the logos are reversed on each side of the container so that the Highway 1 logo always points to the front of the container. This kind of lettering arrangement is common on domestic 48' containers but rarely seen on international standard containers.

Stock Checks:

Inventory is a fluid commodity.  It changes by the hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson. When we held items for customers’ orders, the order never materialized 80%+ of the time.  We lost out on the orders placed while the item was on hold.  Also we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items are available and if possible attempt to locate what we don’t have while you are on the phone.
