A quiz

They all owned or leased Locomotives?

The suspense is killing me!

Their colors are the same?

I’m supposed to look at one of Carl Shaver’s posts.

I still don’t have any idea, and I’m Carl Shaver!

(I’m gonna hate myself when the answer is revealed!)

CShaveRR: That’s too funny! I reread your posts too! I don’t have a clue either.but I feel better about not getting it.

Ya know I don’t know either??//// Darn it!!! Why couldn’t this be a simple question like what does the Southeastern PA Transportation Authority (Septa) and New Jersey Transit (NJT) have in common. The I would MOST certainly know the answer.

I’m going to take a guess here to this question …um…um…um…PASS

They all paint their cars in paint schemes that when dirty the lettering cannot be read.

I should have said, “at least some of their cars”. The Canadian Wheat Board has three paint schemes that I can remember. Only one is it near impossible to impossible to read the lettering, however this seems to be the most common paint scheme.

Eric, I’ve seen some ex-D&RGW gons painted for GWS, too. They’re in the 300000 series.

By the way, did you ever figure out the numbering system for these cars? The second and third digits of the six-digit numbers are always the last two digits of the SP system classification (except on the mechanical reefers). So when the “unclassified” ex-D&RGW cars were included, the second and third digits were “00”.
something to do with this???

they are all railroads that give me a HEADACHE!!!

i know you already gave the answer, but still[^]

No, the quote below is the relevant one.
“They’re blue because blue lettering would have been impossible to see on gold after a short while.”

The answer to this question is obviously…42[:D]!
