Not to long ago I've found some boxcars that say "EEC" and "SLC". Any ideas on what they mean?[?]

I once saw an Ouachita Railroad car in Roseville CA

Painted a suitable Micro Trains N scale car to look like it.
It was pretty beat up looking. The reporting marks OUCH

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

SLC is San Luis Central (Monte Vista, CO)....hardly new, been around since 1913.

EEC is East Erie Commercial RR (Hardly new either, ever heard of General Electric? at the locomotive shops in Erie, PA)
