LOL This struck me as funny.

Looks like these Intermodal Refrigerated Containers are all taking a snooze!

First of all, that’s hysterical

Second, on a more inquisitive note, do the refrigerated containers run off their own generators during transport or are they hooked up to an external supply? I’ve never seen any hooked up on a container ship or double stack but I could be wrong.

Are they snoring? :hehe: Maybe they just decided to "chill"

LOL chillin' while waiting:hehe:

They have their own gas / diesel engine with their own fuel tank to keep the inside cool during transport. I've seen them shipped on intermodal trains when they pass through mostly Rochelle and a few other places.

Actually, both. Reefers are allocated specific positions onboard container ships such that the generators are easily accessible via gangways to facilitate regular checks by the ship's crew and more importantly, run off the ship's generator. When in port, they have specific storage zones where they can be hooked up to either ground power or direct cold air supply so as to not deplete the diesel tank, which usually only lasts about a week, at most.

Ahhh that makes a lot more sense now. I could honestly use a cold air supply of my own at the moment, as my bedroom still hasn't cooled down from this nasty heatwave.
