Interesting reporting mark
Title:  Interesting reporting mark
Description:  This car was in a southbound AEPX train. The CTRN initials are for the Central of Tennessee Railway and Navigation Co, interestingly, a UP owned mark. I've never seen these initials that I can recall. May be a holdover of a long ago subsidiary, and possibly a trademark thing, since UP has shown a predilection for preserving their reporting marks to maintain the trademarks.

UP car
Title:  UP car
Description:  Another version of UPs livery, this time with smaller numerals. Most of the time, these trains are solid AEPX cars. This one had a good number of UP cars in the consist, suggesting some of the AEPX cars were out of the set for maintenance.
