Another fun foreign car that showed up at least once, was one of the
SP 10-5s painted in B&O colors. There are a lot of interesting

and a variety of others in the UP schemes.
Add the ex C&NW ex C&O coaches from the SP that showed up once in a
while, along with ex M-K-T NP cars, and a lot of other post-sale cars
(UP cars on the GN & GTW, NYC cars on KCS, etc.) and you can use lot
of the cars showing up these days.
