The Intermodal Container Web Page

This page contains photos of the common types of containers used in intermodal transport today. The purpose of this page is to familiarize viewers with the various types of containers currently in use. This page is designed specifically for intermodal transportation enthusiasts and modelers.

NEWS: Updated all parts with some new containers. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone. Enjoy!

Special Note: If you sent me scanned photos 20+ years ago, I'd like to get higher resolution scans to improve the quality of some of the older images posted here. I've lost contact with some contributors from that era, so if you're one of them please consider taking some time to re-scan your old prints/slides and send me new image files. And I would appreciate it if folks out there with photographs from the 1970s-1980s would scan some of them and send them to me. Thanks for the help!
