I took it upon myself to do some layout for this posting of Wes Carr’s Traincar Sides.  Here’s an anecdote from Wes:

Here are a few freight car logos… it’s fascinating to think that some of the freight cars in the North American railroad network are more than 30 years old and have never been repainted.  It’s still possible to find logos from railroads that disappeared (through sale, merger, bankruptcy, etc) in the early 1970s.  I’ve been assembling a collection of these and sooner or later I will probably assemble a large collection of them in one image.
