What's the significance of the CMO reporting marks? I'm guessing that these are the old "Omaha Road" marks from the C&NW days?

CMO aare the marks for the old Chicago Minneaspolis St. Paul & Omaha RR which was CNW's subsidiary between Elroy WI and the Twin Cities and then down through Sioux City to Omaha. It was known as the "Omaha Road".

CMO marks are legally assigned to UP as the successor to CNW.

Using heritage reporting marks is not new. Right up to the 1995 merger into UP, the CNW itself was still using CGW and MSTL marks.
