===Juice Train===

[[Juice Train]] is the popular name for famous [[unit train]]s of [[Tropicana Products|Tropicana]] fresh [[orange juice]] operated by [[Rail transport|railroads]] in the [[United States]]. On June 7, 1970, beginning on Seaboard Coast Line railroad, a mile-long Tropicana Juice Train began carrying one million gallons of juice with one weekly round-trip from [[Bradenton, Florida]] to [[Kearny, New Jersey]], in the [[New York City]] area. The trip spanned {{Convert|1250|mi|km}} one way, and the 60 car train was the equivalent of 250 trucks.<ref>{{cite journal |year=1981 |title=The Great White Train|journal=The Family Lines Rail System Magazine |volume=8 |issue=1 |pages=16–17 |publisher=Family Lines Railroad }}</ref>

Today it is no longer operated by SCL successor [[CSX Transportation]], a victim of CSX’s [[Precision scheduled railroading|PSR]] operating philosophy. Tropicana [[refrigerator car|refrigerated boxcars]] are still transported between Florida and New Jersey, however they are now mixed in with [[intermodal freight transport#Transportation_modes|Intermodal trains]]. In the past, the Juice Trains have been the focus of efficiency studies and awards as examples of how modern rail transportation can compete successfully against trucking and other modes to carry perishable products.
