I lied only one blank week, next ship is 7/10.

CMA boxes have been coming in with live reefers, you can tell by the gensets. Also a CP genset container went East a few days ago. Not sure what sort of Eastbound traffic will go, since the stuff on CN has basically moved at night on that outbound lane

I have a question about DPUs on Intermodal trains. Who determines that a train needs a DPU? What are the factors that go into determining if a train needs a DPU and Where to place the DPU? Thanks for any info on my question.
