Eastern Railroad Discussion > Monday on the Mohawk, getting ready for winter

A westbound CSX intermodal zips past Lock 13 on the Erie Canal a couple weeks ago. The big I-beam in the foreground is an ice guard, which will be dropped into place to protect the lock doors when navigation season ends.

Isn't PRIME trucking a completely different company than Amazon?   I can't see if the trailer actually says Amazon on it, but I see these often and I beleive they say Prime.

Yes, you are referring to Prime INC. These are Amazon containers, I have hauled several of them. Amazon equipment says prime and has the arrow on it.

One Amazon, three UMAX, one CSX and a stacked pair of Scheniders is what I see.
