This forum did such a good job with my Orange Juice post/question that I'll ask about the 2nd most noteworthy train I see here in No. VA. That one is a train consisting of 15-30 container car loads of garbage, usually mixed with other freight. The containers come in various sizes and shapes, but the most common are four tall grey containers to a flatcar. <br /> <br />I've been told the garbage originates in NJ somewhere and is destined for a land fill in So. VA or the carolinas. <br /> <br />I take commuter rail over these same tracks and when a So.-bound train passes through the station on a warm day, it's not something you forget. Actually the No.-bound trains don't smell all that good either. Does anyone know exactly where the train originates and destinates? Can it be cost effective to ship garbage? I wonder if this one has ever been written up in Trains magazine.
