Up here in the Great White North, "HOGTOWN" is what those of us who don't live there call Toronto (also known as Trawna). 

Obviously, that's gotta be a nasty chemical in that tankcar.

Many years ago, I painted this brass GE 44 tonner for a customer of a local hobbyshop.  It's lettered for National Steel Car, a rolling stock manufacturer in Hamilton, Ontario...

How about some more privately-owned stuff...locos or rolling stock.

Down here in Florida, HOGTOWN is the old name of the City of Gainesville, Home of the University of Florida, GO GATORS!
