Orange Juice Train
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, June 28, 2002 12:24 PM
Anybody have info on what I call the "orange juice train". It is a CSX unit train consisting of Tropicana refrigerators cars, usually orange, sometimes white. I see it running north and south on the CSX tracks in No. VA. Origination?, destination? frequency?

On the East Coast there is a North & South bound daily. The kids & I usually see the South bound from 3 to 4:30ish & the North in mid-morn. here in Richmond. The former has inter-modal mixed in at the front.

It was the "Cover Story" in the March, 2000 issue of "Trains", on pages 36 through 43, with several pictures covering the period of 1981-1999.
