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

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.

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!
