One of the joys of train watching in America is spotting cars from "fallen flag" railroads, that is, from those railroads long gone, or swallowed up by larger concerns. It is incredible that there are some cars running around even today displaying liveries from railroads that disappeared over 30 years ago. Here is grain car no. 252366 once operated by SCL/LN "Family Lines System", now part of the CSX empire. This car is in the southbound manifest train seen at 16.19.
