Hamilton, Ontario has a large industrial sector and, as a result, shipping is an essential element in keeping that sector operating. To that end, standardized shipping containers are used and, when they are awaiting either loading onto ships for transport to their ultimate destination or awaiting further distribution following off-loading from ships, the containers area stacked neatly, as seen here. The resulting pattern of multi-coloured ‘boxes’ is captured here in an industrial area. - JW

A 7w container trailer with movable axles (one of them locked with a rail plate. so that it stays upright when there's a load).
This has been a WIP for quite some time. Now that there are click locks on the containers the Technic axle locks on the trailer are no longer necessary, you may lock them directly to the main beam (you may spot one of the holes between the dark bluish gray tiles).
Anyhow, this was an occasion to combine System and Technic parts in a rather unusual way. Plus the trailer may carry all sorts of containers (even the smaller 17 x 7 ones which I still don't have).
Fairly simple yet still pretty strong (I think) eight-wide model of a single-bay intermodal well car. The bay measures six studs wide by 32 studs long, which fits LEGO®'s Maersk Train containers.
Instructions for my MOCs are available on my BrickLink store.
This container depot, just to the west of Bristol, has sprung up since I returned to the railway hobby in 2007. A Class 66 locomotive can often be seen stabled here waiting for its next duty, as is the case in this view. The 10:20 Bristol Parkway - Weston-super-Mare service passes the site in the care of a pair of Class 153 units. The viewpoint is the road bridge at the western end of Parson Street station; the track in the bottom right-hand corner leads to Royal Portbury Dock and will one day carry passenger trains to and from Portishead again.

Zilverkleurige letters op een oude container op het strand bij Kijkduin terwijl de zon al wat lager, dus warmer, stond.
Geen photoshopeffecten toegepast. Zo uit het geheugenkaartje.
W.A. Young Machine Shop and Foundry
Rices Landing, PA
This shop was built in 1900. It was closed in 1969 and left the way it was on its last day of operation with machinery and tools dating as far back as 1870.
The shop is beside the Monongahela River in southwestern Pennsylvania. It specialized in repairing barges, tug boats, and other river vessels and making replacement parts.

I originally thought of photographing an SD card as a container. A really old one, before they were called SD. Then, I realized that I had a data container much older than any SD card. Happy Macro Mondays
The tug, Svitzer Inrepid, sailing down the River Thames, having assisted the container ship CMA CGM Lebu leave its moorings at Tilbury Docks. They are passing a tanker, Dispenser.
Svitzer Intrepid has been one of Svitzer's Thames fleet for a number of years and just returned from a sojourn in Felixstowe. Dispenser used to be a GPS Marine boat, I think, but appears to be in other colours, now, not unfamiliar, but isn't listed on the website of the (possible) new owner. I'm bewildered and confused.
