Is there a "directory" giving the ownership markings on freight cars? e.g. CSX.

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

Not sure of your location - but the Canadian Trackside guide has a listing of most if not all of the markings eg , SULX - together with the owner names etc
