There still seem to be quite a few of these kicking around with the TFM flag on them, even though quite a few now have KCSM initials on them. This one was one of several on this northbound M train. |

Atlantic & Western car |
| Description: |
The reporting marks belong to a North Carolina short line. Back when I lived in NY, I used to see their box cars on the LIRR frequently. Now, in the middle of the country, I mostly see their coil steel cars. Northbound on the 261 train. As often happens with these cars, the lid doesn't match the car, this one belonging to TFM, now KCSM. |

Mismatched marks |
| Description: |
This seems to happen with some regularity on coil steel cars-the reporting marks on the lid dont match the mark on the car itself. This one has a lid that shows as Gary Railway, which, if its from Gary, Indiana, makes total sense, given the steel industry there. The NDYX on the car is for Wells Fargo Rail, a leasing arm of the well known bank, which, ironically, got its start as a stagecoach operation. |

UP has a variety of cars lettered for predecessors. At this point, probably most of the originals are gone, but they keep the reporting marks active for trademark purposes. This gon was northbound on the ex MP. |
