Eastern Railroad Discussion > Ownership sign on CSX locoDate: 10/18/01 06:20 Ownership sign on CSX loco Author: OCtrainguy I saw this sign on a CSX GP38-2. This locomotive is a former Conrail unit. This locomotive was on the Conrail Shared Assets Southern Secondary line. This line is the former CNJ Southern Division Main Line. Photo was taken in Lakehurst, NJ last month.

The ICC was disbanded how many years ago? Date: 10/18/01 11:41 RE: Ownership sign on CSX loco Author: chessie you will find similar ownership infomation stenciled on many freight cars - seem to be most prevalent on private covered hoppers and the like.

Date: 10/18/01 22:45 Just Like Your Car Loan Author: JACHOOCHOO When you borrow money to buy an automobile, the lending institution has a "Security Interest" (Lien) on the vehicle, and can repossess it if you fail to pay.
The plaque on Railroad equipment is simply a required statement that there is an outstanding balance on the money borrowed to buy the unit |
