I have an Athearn Genesis BNSF SD75M #8251 in as delivered Super-Fleet paint. I'd like to run a 15 car "Super fleet" train and am wondering what kind of intermodal cars I should get. I'm thinking around 1997 to 2000, so not really "Super Fleet" per say. But you all get the point. Should I get well cars or TOFC. and what style/reporting marks would be most appropriate for the direct post merger Era? Thanks as always trains.com community.
Edit: I will be getting a second engine, probably a 6 axle GE.

Gidday, I’m not sure this 1997 video helps at all! At 10.03, 13.41, and 16.42, it appears that those trains have both well side, (2 different types) and TOFC flatcars in the same consist. At 24.57, it appears that there are trailers in/on the first three well side cars. Cheers, the Bear.
Looks like TTX Well cars. Thanks for the sources. I'll run a little of both flats and containers!
