The Orange Juice Train has been a staple of east coast railroading since 1971, when Tropicana instituted a once-a-week unit train between its processing facility in Bradenton, Florida, and its northeast distribution facility in Kearney, New Jersey. Since that time, frequency, facility locations, and destinations have been changed or added, but the main service continues to be between Florida and New Jersey. A unit train carries the loaded cars north, but the same priority is not given to returning southbound cars. Instead, empties are added to other trains, as seen here as part of a southbound RF&P freight at Woodbridge, Virginia.
