TTX/Santa Fe Spine cars

[Alan]

Some photos of the Container-Only Spine cars I am producing in N Scale, show the car in TTX scheme, but also with a Santa Fe logo on the side of the spines on each end unit.

Anyone know the story on this?

This link has a photo of such a car

Alan, I have seen 5 pack Impack trailer only spine cars with a blue Santa Fe logo on the end units, but never on an NTTX container only style spine. Looking at your picture I see that they were on the NTTX cars. Maby it missed it becouse the logo is so small or hidden by road grime. I never did find out why the Impack cars had the logos. It could be that Santa Fe had some sort of arangement/lease to use those cars? They were in TTX colors and reporting marks.
