UP bought most of Railex.  

"By many measures, the U.S. freight rail system is the safest, most efficient and cost effective in the world." - Federal Railroad Administration, October, 2009. I'm just your average, everyday, uncivilized howling "anti-government" critic of mass government expenditures for "High Speed Rail" in the US. And I'm gosh darn proud of that.

ARMN 5800 Series

I saw an ARMN 5800 series (I think ARMN 5860) reefer today. It is former CRYX, same number. There was also a patch about the size of the Railex logo where the logo would have been. I wonder if UP bought the reefers leased to Railex or had the terms of the lease changed so they have ARMN reporting marks.
