Interesting slightly incomplete repainting work on that car.

Also interesting in that SNC has virtually no freight business.

They have shipped some waste rock from a former titanium mine up on the extreme north end of the line, but not much else.

A month or two ago, somebody posted a photo of a nice boxcar owned by a railroad in the south that wasn't even operating, just 'open for business' that might come their way.

Probably a reporting mark of convenience for a boxcar leasing company. By arranging for use of a common carrier mark, they get higher car-hire charges. The cars may never actually visit home rails.
