[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by mudchicken Clandestine marketing effort by SP to generate carloadings without customer thinking they had to deal with the attitude problem that was Southern Pacific. [/quote] Certainly a colorful explanation, but I think it had more to do with Southern Pacific's financial situation post SP/ATSF failed merger. By selling these used assets (railcars) they were able to rent these same newly rebuilt cars through lease back and provide customers with a better product. And it enabled Southern Pacific to raise cash from the sale of these used cars, which was then used for other purposes. It was SP marketing that would send traffic mangers information on this new fleet. I doubt it was ever a mystery for those in the industry. Jim
