<p>Speaking as an English Modeller of American Railroads (regretably still in planning) I think it would add great interest if all the names and logos of the railroads now confined to history were to be acknowledged by the successor railroad companies be it only by the name and the decal on the side of a locomotive As a stop-gap to getting the railroad corporations to honour and remember their own heritage why not lobby the Federal Government to have the Federally funded Amtrak have some of it's passenger trains painted in the same colours of the 'Fallen Flags' over whose lines it now runs I know I digress but in my opinion one of the saddest loss to 'colourful' railroading was the prohibition of the Billboard Boxcar My thought is that the ban could be un-constitutional as it prohibits free speech, even if it is only saying 'Buy Acme Soap', and free speech is guarenteed by one of the amendments to your constitution Now that really would brighten up watching a freight train thundering by </p><p> If you want to keep the Railroads Ship it by Rail </p>
