Down here is a treasure trove of UP predecessors cars. I have seen CE&!, Mopac, CNW, MILW, and it looked like a freshly painted 40' covered hopper on CNW. There are quite a few hoppers in CE&I and MOPAC at a gravel plant in Ferriday, LA.

Yesterday in Gallitzin, PA I saw a Cotton Belt one and another old looking one. I took pictures of them because they looked old and I hadn't seen ones like them before, then I got home and saw this thread! Here are the pictures I took: http://horsfall.departmentofmysteries.com/trains.html

Also, just a couple minutes walk from where I get the car's oil changed, there is a bridge with a very clear and bright Pennsylvania RR logo on it.

I believe the term 'fallen flag' was coined after the Wabash railroad disappeared. Its emblem was a flag with the name Wabash.

Month or so ago there was a big orded of steel pipe (sporting "made in U.S.A." no less) headed south west on the old wabash, in a buncha gondolas, all beat to the dickens. a few of those had the "PC" of penn-central, and were still in the classic tourquise color scheme One of those had the "New York Central System black and white emblem coming through the peeling paint.

See a "Southern moves the South" boxcar every now and then as well
