Container trains? No, not really, on the BN in 1974. But there were containers, on chassis as TOFC, and on flatcars as COFC, sometimes single, often mixed with other piggyback. Intermodal wasn't a word in the Northwest yet, or a big part of the traffic. I have a picture of the Spokane-Portland section of the BN's primary trailer/container train, one day in 1977. An F45, ten 89 foot flatcars, and a caboose.
