    And an intersting name fouind inside an MP Buzzsaw logo:

    Now what really ticked me off, is I had just shut camera down, one 2 occasions, when 2 Screaming Eagle logo equipped cars rolled past.
    Was hoping to get a shot or two for Paul.
    Maybe next trip I'll get lucky!

    Nice catch on the C&EI logo!

    Cars like these are the only reason I leave the camer on until the entire train is passed. There's still plenty of freight lettered in full MP that pass through Rochelle these days.

    Lord, yes! I've seen MP coal hoppers on the joint line in Colorado and out along the way to California. Also CNW and DRGW. There's still a lot of equipment running around with MP reporting marks, though much of it has acquired the shield of insecurity. Still, I have occasionally seen buzzsaws of one sort or another on covered hoppers or boxes, unfortunately usually while doing 45 on a parallel road.
