Re: Shipping Container Rates
There was an article in Trains Mag a little while back about intermodal traffic and they quoted some generic rates. I was going to guess $3,500+ so $3,000 seems like a good rate.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Based on the main article in the April issue of Railfan and Railroad, maybe he has a container of grain to export.SD80MAC wrote:..........why!?

Its for a school project, has to do with computer recycling, and sometimes containers are sent to Hong Knog for dis-assembly....I guess it was more of a curosity question
