"Trains" Magazine, January 2004
Title:  "Trains" Magazine, January 2004
Description:  Here is a photo taken by the Kaufman & Fabry Co. It was published originally in the January 2004 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 98. Partial Caption: "Piggyback, as it turned out, for the most part converted what had previously been boxcar traffic into piggyback traffic.... Today, the most rapidly growing segment of the market consists of long-haul traffic delivered to the railroads by the truckers themselves." Prominent here are PRR F-30D flatcar #478462 and KMS 40-foot highway trailer #1663.
