SOU 40' Van

: Georgia, winter 1970

On way from Knoxville to Florida, found this SOU van trailer at a rest area parking lot. COE Tractor is of Ryder.

According to the 1974 Official Intermodal Equipment Register (OIER), SOU owned 6024 trailers including vans, flats and open tops. Some vans were noted as "containers that have been welded to chassis". Van in this photo may comes under this category.

This photo was first appeared in my column mentioning wheels on wheels.
N scale model of the van similar to this van appears here;
