I guess it is true that you can literally haul anything by rail. I don't remember seeing a PalTank container before, but the words “alcoholic beverages” caiught my attention while trackside on Novwemer 21, 2019. PalTank is an English cmpany former in 2002. They own more than 1800 ISO tanks such as this one that can be hauled by rail, truck or ship. (Plane, too, probably) meaning it is by definition intermodal. According to their website, a lot of what they haul is wine from France to over 85 countries. This tank was on a train heading toward the port in Charleston, South Carolina. |
