BBC intermodal container

A red container sporting the British Broadcasting Corporation logo has been spotted in the US.  Apparently, BBC is tracking this container with a GPS transponder.

 That is really cool. I had actually considered buying a container, and leasing it out. But I also wanted to do something like that, just as a cool experiment to see where it had been. I just need to work out the logistics of starting a container company....

I looked through the webpage there and they have a place to postyour own photos if you happen to see it.
