Western Railroad Discussion > Walmart Z train?Date: 10/31/21 13:21 Walmart Z train? Author: jefflocal Hi TO
Yesterday I saw a southbound intermodal train passing through Albany OR. It had a bunch of Walmart containers and most were top stacked. I'm guessing this is so they can be prioritized. I haven't seen many of these containers on the I-5 before. Is this due to the current supply chain issues. Jeff Posted from Android Date: 10/31/21 13:33 Re: Walmart Z train? Author: ross I believe these are the new ones being delivered to Portland, OR port. Now travelling SB to LA area for use.

Here are some photos of your Walmart Z train later in the day at Fields, MP 555 on the Cascade Line. https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,5364994 wyatt Date: 11/18/21 10:02 Re: Walmart Z train?
