The Empty Chassis Train
Author: walstib

I caught an empty J.B. Hunt chassis train rolling east at Tokio, approaching Keystone, in eastern Washington tonight.

B-PTLCHC3-09A ~ Baretable Flat from Portland, OR to Cicero, IL

Guess they're getting a bit lite on 53' container chassis(s) in Illinois?

Hard to tell they a few years back the swapped strings like that in and out of a siding N of Klamath Falls at the Modoc Point siding. Something about they had to be moved every so often was the reason given. With traffic falling in the last few months could be doing that again.

Could they be new chassis that are being delivered?

No. 

That was my first thought when I spotted them, but once I got ahead of the train and set up for a photo, it was clear they weren't new.
