[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by CSSHEGEWISCH The big initials, primarily on boxcars, appears to have started in the late 1950's. Pat McGinnis went for initials only on locomotives on both New Haven and B&M in the same time period. C&O/B&O went to initials only in the mid 1960's. The initials only form of corporate identification became a bit of a fad during the 1960's and not just in railroading; American Machine and Foundry became AMF, Smith-Corona became SCM, etc. With all due respects, Burlington Northern Santa Fe is a bit long to be painting on equipment and the full name does show up on the corporate herald on freight cars. CSX started out as a temporary name during merger proceedings and it was kept. It seems to work better than anything else that could have been devised. [/quote] LOL, How would you do a Burlington Northern Santa Fe Norfolk Southern Canadian National merger? You almost have enough letters for another word all together!! Lets play anagrams
