Grand Trunk is owned by CN, Soo is part of CP Rail.

Where in the "Great Mitten State" are you located ??? I live about 1 mile from the tracks of the ( I think) Holly Sub. that runs through Ferndale, Royal Oak, etc. & still see quite a few GT locos going through. I'm told GT was taken off the books though.

The Grand Trunk Corporation holds the US portion of the CN property. It is involved in the takeover of GLT & the Missabe Road. The Atlas site has a post about this. Hearings will be held in the next 2 months. I suspect all of this is a tax/govmt issue.
As car fleets get larger, perhaps the reporting marks on cars will continue? I have seen UP cars with other letters but sporting the UP herald.
