Date: 09/22/12 16:04 Re: Look close at the logo..... Author: knotch8 Central East African Railway is owned by Railroad Development Corporation of Pittsburgh, PA, with Henry Posner III as Chairman. Posner came from Conrail. He's involved in railroad operations around the world.

Thanks for that bit of info. Its interesting to think that this line and the Iowa Interstate have the same ownership. - Jeff Carlson Date: 09/22/12 22:18 Re: Look close at the logo.....

Looks as though it's not moving and they are working on the loco Date: 09/23/12 05:41 Re: Look close at the logo..... Author: jmbreitigan Wow, very informative.
John Date: 09/23/12 06:06 Re: Look close at the logo..... Author: Gateway97 That swoosh would have been a nice touch to the early CR units (just as the bib or napkin was later on). Is this Nigeria?

Date: 09/23/12 10:12 Re: Look close at the logo..... Author: wabash2800 So do you suppose he's using a derivative of the "can opener" logo legally as it was developed for Conrail and Conrail paid an advertising agency big bucks for its development? (Personally, I never liked the logo or the colors.)
