Is this train a container record?
Author: bmarti7

Earlier this afternoon I caught a southbound intermodel on the VRF cam going through Folkston. Leader was CSX 3184 (honoring law enforement), CSX 4569 and CSX 951 as a DP. 352 containers and trailers heading to Duval/Jax. Unsure of symbol.

Thanks for the info - that would be Bedford Park (Chicago) to Moncrief Yard (JAX), working Duvall. That would indicate some of those cars are interchanging to the FEC in JAX.

Not a record. I've seen it before at almost 14,000' long. Here is I025 passing the farm on Saturday morning south of Vincennes, IN. Many times I025 will have a cut of autoracks on the head end. My understanding is these are Teslas going to Florida from California.
