Who's train is it?

My general assumption is that the train belongs to whoever is providing the lead unit. And on general merchandise freight I can confirm that by watching the cars - UP will have primarily UP and UP/Fallen Flag line cars, and BNSF with have BN/SF/BNSF cars. So far my theory has held true, at least on the Sacramento to Stockton line. <br /> <br />That doesn't help, though, if run-through or borrowed power is in the lead, and especially not on intermodal, where the ubiquitous TTEX car doesn't tell you anything either.
