CSL

48' Smooth Side Container

Part #DEI-8240 N Scale Supply Price: New: April 2003

Why are there 2 different CSL paint schemes in this package? Because the silver one was one-of-a-kind! CSXU 680800 was built by Jindo and was the only CSL container to receive this paint scheme. The white container features the red band version of CSL's standard paint scheme. The yellow on red road numbers are often called "Xtra style" because it is the standard arrangment for Xtra Equipment Leasing. CSX set up the CSL Intermodal subsidiary in the 1980's to run their logistics management business. Since this business had a coast to coast reach, the name CSL was chosen so customers wouldn't think the service ended where CSX track did (in fact their headquarters was on a major highway and not a rail line). After a few years, it was decided that the distinction didn't matter and the CSL name was retired in favor of CSX Intermodal.
