PASSING TRAINS PT10; GX408 PT2

 The rest of GX408...

An Northern Oklahoma hopper, purchased second hand, is followed by a car leased from GATX by the Union Pacific. The CMO reporting marks were inherited from the CNW with the 1995 merger. The Northwestern, in turn, got them when they merged with the Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis, and Omaha -aka the 'Omaha Road'- in 1972, after nearly a century of control.

More UP hoppers. The first one has high, "anti-graffiti" reporting marks, while the second one is another leased car with CMO marks. The UP uses the CMO marks on leased hopper cars.

Another UP hopper with the reporting marks in the traditional location.

A set of Greenbriar Leasing hoppers, with GBRX reporting marks.

More GATX leasers, this time with GACX reporting marks.

Finally, a set of DM&E (Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern) cars bring up the rear. The DM&E Was formed in 1986 from lines spun off from the C&NW, and was acquired by the Canadian Pacific in 2008, though many of its hoppers are still seen across the country to this day.
