Does REA count as a railroad name? The logos on the trucks are a little hard to make out, but they are there.
 
Also, the building to the right houses the main office for my fictional New York, Binghamton, and Western RR and the sign is painted on the front of the building although hard to make out.

On the right a coal car is spotted beneath the tipple while one of the railroads few remaining steam locomotives sits in the center, watching as one of the new diesels rumbles past to the turntable.

A pair of reefers loading up at the A&P warehouse. 

I was puzzled by the Van Camp's reefer because I couldn't figure out why a canned food company would need a reefer. I started a thread about it and the consensus is that it is a foobie since there is no record of the reporting marks in any roster. 

A mechanical reefer, please.

I'd really like to find a better-detailed example of this car if I can. I put a 'Soundcar' decoedr in it so I can hear the faint sound of the engine as the car passes by.
