I caught a train in the Menomonee River valley (Milwaukee, WI) last week, headed by a SOO SD60 and CSXT SD40-2, followed by a whole string of old open-top hoppers. Saw C&NW, MP with a C&EI logo, some old heavily-patched MILW cars, BN, Rio Grande, some ex-WP... really neat!

Saw BN or ex BN 7149 today SB in Marietta, Ga on CSX. This was one of two units(SD40-2s modified with flared radiators, a special paint job, and a fuel tender between them) converted to burn, I beleive LPG. The unit still has the flared radiators and special paint job.

Cars wearing the colors of Railraods that don't exist anymore, because the biggies gobbled them up.

"Old" RR's that have been sucked up by the biggies, therefore no longer around

Wisconsin Central
Green Bay & Western
Northern Alberta Railway (merged in early 1980s!!!)

Detroit & Toledo Shore Line!!!
I haven't seen any Central Vermont or Duluth Winnipeg & Pacific lately, but they're out there...

Other fallen flags:
Mid-South
plenty of Milwaukee Road and Soo Line
Chicago and North Western hoppers relettered to GCCX
Conrail renumbered to CSXT
Spencerville & Elgin relettered NOKL! (Is that a fallen flag?)
