Didn’t there used to be a company called the Head-on Collision Line. I hear that they were a lessor of tank cars which carried the reporting marks HOCX.
Any information?

Anybody for ICRR?
The New York Central. we represented all things good in the railroad business.
The Norfolk & Western was a extremely profitable coal hauler. It’s passenger service even though small, was comfortable and the crews were very friendly. While in the Navy, I was stationed in Norfolk between 1962-1967 and rode the Powhaten Arrow to my hometown outside of Cincinnati, Ohio every weekend my ship was in port. My only regret was I never had the opportunity to ride a “J” pulled train.
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. Family worked for it and I grew up around those blue and yellow freight diesels or the warbonnet passenger consist. Never was too crazy with the merger with the B.N. and their pumpkin colors and now the heritage colors(?). Fortunately there are still a few red and silver warbonnets still floating around to view for a while. As far as I’m concerned, BNSF is just another name for Santa Fe
Strangely enough whilst UP has 3 votes, no-one wants to admit it!
Me, I like the Santa Fe first followed very closely by the Rio Grande.

The Long Island Rail Road freight of the 1960s. I just can’t keep away from Sunnyside Yards.
What about the Great Northern?
How about the EAR&H?
Grand Trunk Western, even though it sounds more like the name of a rock band!
MWV
Erie
The Dixie Line,The Old Reliable, Also known as the Louisville and Nashville
Great Northern was one of the best companies to work for.
My vote is for the GN

Head On Collision Line was a genuine leasing operation. It did have a listing in the 1977 Railway Equipment Register.
Favorite name is the Missouri & Illinois Bridge & Belt RR. It was operated by CB&Q and BN and had a small listing the Official Guide.
My favourite railroad name would be the Erie Lackawana
Chicago Great Western - loved the Lucky Strike logo and long F unit lash-ups.
