Remnant of the REA?
Since REA Express was liquidated rather than re-organized, it’s probable that the leasing firm that currently holds that reporting mark probably obtained it from REA’s estate.
you are both correct, i checked some links online and found the following info- rea leasing was created in 1961 to lease piggyback trailers to railroads and industry.this later became known as realco(railway express agency leasing company)it was profitable and was spun off in november 1974 on the eve of rea’s 1975 liquidation and is still operating today useing reaz,real,and reax reporting marks.
