I see a good number of them on BNSF Trains

Since I love in Michigan and don't get out to see the UP or BNSF transcon. So with that said does FedEx do any business like UPS in dedicated or partially dedicated trains.

No not yet, maybe in future.

The Fed Ex trailers and containers are showing up in droves on BNSF trains. I saw Fed Ex containers on 16 different trains over the weekend thru Kingman, AZ. They are in most markets, on Zs to/from LAC/SBD/STO to/from ALT/CHI/LPK/NSA/NYC/WSP. I didn't notice any on the ATG, MEM or NBY trains. North Bay is UPS only. They were on the QSTLLAC1 and the QLPKLAC6 (the most, 11 Fed Ex double stacks). For comparison, on a ZLACWSP9, I've seen 38 UPS double stacks, 14 UPS single containers on spine cars, plus UPS loads in UPS and non-UPS trailers.

FedEx is running heavy on the BNSF Atlanta trains and also some on the Memphis trains.

FedEx has appeared periodically on U.P.'s new Chicago-Portland Z train too -but, not in great numbers.

Good to know, apparently Fed Ex wasn't on the ATG and MEM trains that I saw.
