I think you misunderstood me. What I mean is, find several more situations such as the Guilford/Pan Am deal, whereas a company has bought another, non-rail-related company, and has decided to use the other company's logo on their rolling stock.

Well I thought Pan Am owned the boxcars and was using Guilford (for obvious reasons) to ship the airliners freight. But I was wrong. This link should clear stuff up.

Well if it is there boxcar PAN AM they would paint on there logo just like OMYA (pic of tank car I put up) painted there name/logo on there cars or ADM puts there

But the OMYA car is not owned by OMYA - it's owned by Union Tank note the UTLX.

Proably long term lease to OMYA.

What are the marks on the PanAm cars?

I think you all might just be a bunch of idiots with WAY too much spare time. But good luck with all your dumb*** that you all do. Oh yea, I thought this was about something important, I guess not? Oh well!

[:(!] O.K. go to http://www.hoovers.com/guilford-transportation/--ID__57540--/free-co-factsheet.xhtml Guilford Transportation Owns both Guilford Railroad and PAN AM but that is not the important thing. A freight railroad most of the time doesn’t own all the cars they pull. Sometimes they (the costmers who are haveing there freight moved) rent from railcar rental company’s or they can rent from the railroad. Some company’s own there own railroad cars so asking why a railroad would put the PAN AM logo on there car is a stupid question because it is not there car it is PAN AM’s car. After all if your parent company owns a railroad do you think they are going to rent a rail car or acquire one? If you go to Guilford’s website and look at there newsletter GuilfordXpress they mention PAN AM a lot since they are owned by the same people. So since Guilford Transportation owns the two companies if PAN AM needs something transported by land instead of contracting it out to another company they use Guilford.

As you can see from the pic below it is common for corporations to put there name/logo on there cars.

So who is the uneducated idiot?

Well Duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
of course they would use gillford for transport. But the reporting marks on the cars are gillford right? So that shows their ownership not pam Am
