Florida East Coast Railway's new 53-foot containers.Regional freight rail system Florida East Coast Railway has acquired 200 new 53-foot containers to expand its domestic business and replace older trailers.
“This acquisition will help accelerate the conversion of FECR trailers to containers in order to provide double-stack transportation service between Jacksonville and Miami,” said Jim Hertwig, FECR CEO, in a written statement.
By utilizing double-stack efficiencies, FECR will be able to save on train length and transport more densely built trains, the company said.
