Another Variant on Favorite RR Question

Instead of people's favorite roads, how about your favorite company that owns its own rolling stock?
I think I would have to say that my favorite would have to be the Tropicana boxcars, they are unique and very recognizable. I even got to see the entire northbound train of them headed out of the Bradenton/Tampa, FL area years ago. My grandma used to live about half a mile from the tracks that they used. Unfortunatly, about 6 years ago she moved to Tehachapi, CA, darn.[:)]

My favorite cars are the ones owned or leased by Central Soya,my employer.They started with 50 two bay covered hoppers back in the 1950's.Leased around 500 covered hoppers from Pulman Standard in the 1970's.These were white with a red,white and blue corporate logo.New cars are in beige. Joe G.
