Recently, here on the CSX Chicago line in Utica, NY, I saw some FedEx trailers (finally!!!!) on a westbound TV train. Seeing how I now work for FedEx (formerly an engineer), it's nice to see we are at least getting into the railgame. My supervisor at FedEx did not believe me (typical manager)
. Is there anyone out there that has a picture of a FedEx trailer on a TOFC car? If so, can you please forward it to me. If anyone can snap a picture, I would appreciate it. Thanks for your effort.

No photos, but I can tell you the FedEx trailers on trains are those operated by FedEx Freight. The parcel business is still entirely trucked.

Steve;
I don't have photos (yet) but next time I go to Danville, I'm sure I can get you photos of FedEx Trailers on NS pig trains. I see them all the time (along with your competitors trailers of all sizes).

On Friday (June 18) I saw a westbound TV train (with solid UP power, no less), with about 25 TOFC cars of FedEx Ground trailers mixed in, fly by Utica. Could not grab the camera quick enough. So that makes FedEx Freight and FedEx Ground trailers now going by rail. Of course, our compitition "spoke volumes" of their trailers, but we are getting more trailers on.

Glad I could help! I tried to post the link a few days ago, but forgot which forum this topic was being discussed on.
