In my experiences on the railroad with IMCX potash cars, this is more like it:

Yes cars in that pain scheme would predominate, however they do have several cars with various logo's that would appear. one per train would suffice tho...

Here's a typical "mixed bag" Potash train

To change it up a little, I am glad to also see the following release for April, although not a real common car on the system...



This 50’ rib side box car with plug door and no roofwalk is painted dark gray with white ‘CN noodle’ logo and lettering. It was bult in 1980 by National Steel Car and runs on Roller Bearing trucks. This car was repainted in the early 1990s in this experimental paint scheme; there are only four known freight cars painted this way, and only one in this body style.

Thank you,

So far sales have exceeded expectations and trends, so we must be doing something right.
