I do a lot of train watching over in the Valley, around Redding, Chico, Red Bluff, and Marysville (Binney Jct, AWESOME place to watch trains!) and I regularly see cars with WP, CNW, GN, SOU, MP, MKT, SP,and Rock Island and every once in a while Frisco. This is UP territory, the line between Sacramento and Oroville, and on up through the Canyon is former WP, and the line between Roseville and Redding on up into Oregon is former SP. I have also noted what appears to be brand new restenciling of fallen flag logos (especially SP and WP) on cars, so I guess they are still using the names. I know the OSL (a UP subsidiary, it's the UP line between Portland and Salt Lake City) was on paper well into the 80's, even though they hadn't existed as a railroad for several decades. If you go to the BNSF web site, and look at some of the crew info, you will see too they still use NP, GN, SLSF, FW&D, CS, BN and SF to distinguish crews.
