    It would be interesting to know where this came from. It seems to me that this could be a doctored photo, going by the edges of the lettering inside of the buzzsaw. ‘

    Per Dan Kohlberg: The MoPac boxcar with the ICG I-Ball sticker applied is simply RR Employee shenanigans. That image has been around a long time on Elwood Fallen Flags, and I recall seeing the image in the 90s, maybe at a slide show or something similar.

    I mean this as no offense, but I DO NOT want Hubert to make a decal of it. The reason is someone posted the image on a Facebook group and then stated that it’s from a group of Mopac boxcars the ICG purchased. They had no factual information on it and people took it as gospel and started to spread it. I reached out to Dan, who’s a ICG fan and he said there is NO RECORD of the ICG purchasing any Mopac 40′ box cars and then told me what I posted here. I went as far as providing the Mopac car numbers counts for that series for the year prior and year after plus the ORES data and the guy who posted it response was “well I was told it was an ICG box car so it must be an ICG box car”. Basically my reasoning for no replication of it is that we so far removed from the history that someone sees the caption or the image and believes it as fact and not just shenanigans.

    I know there are images of Mopac equipment with ATSF in a buzzsaw logo on it for a planned ATSF merger which didn’t happen.

    Don’t worry I told him it was a fake and neither MP or IC modelers would buy a set. He’s dropped it.
