Western Railroad Discussion > Amazon Express? at Fort MadisonDate: 06/02/23 14:55 Amazon Express? at Fort Madison Author: Lackawanna484 BNSF ran a long eastbound stack train at Fort Madison Iowa, largely or entirely of Amazon cargo at 4.30 CDT. Three units upfront, two on the rear, about 150 wells. I didn't count.
Interesting makeup. Probably 30 wells with Amazon blue on the bottom, JB Hunt white on top. Some JB trailers, then many more white over blue boxes. A few Matson boxes on top of Amazon blue. Does Amazon have its own Chicago area terminal? As soon as this guy went east, two slower trains followed.
