Another look at the power on the EB double stack train in Cresson. Something I noted over the weekend. On all stack trains, JB Hunt containers were always the top container of two unless there was two Hunt containers stacked together. Wonder if they have some sort of agreement with NS.

WB at Cresson, Pa, I would have loved to been able to see this consist on an EB move with 7200 in the lead
