I just got this one. It says PRR which I like and take as Pennsylvania RR. This is pretty with sharp graphics.

Huh. That sounds a little familiar:

quote:
The reporting marks on this boxcar series often contain subtle connections and in-jokes. Is the Pepsi car a "PC" for "Penn Central" or "Pepsi Cola"? "PRR" for Pennsylvania or Popsicle RailRoad? Oranges (Tropicana) come from Florida... East Coast (FEC). And veggies at the store have to be "TA&Gged". Admittedly, I'm not sure what the connection for ATSF/StarKKist and UP/DelMonte would be....
