One of the earliest double stack trains was operated between Los Angeles and Atlanta for American President Lines via the Southern Pacific and the Southern Railway. Here was SP train AXAVT's connection heading east over the New Orleans Terminal Co., an SOU/NS subsidiary, at Shrewsbury Road in suburban Metairie. In seven miles these cars would be delivered to the NS and then head north as a part of NS train 222. Standard APLX cars were blue, while the red cars had diesel generators for refrigerated containers. |
