Re: (erielack) Phoebe Snow Box cars

[The Jordans <jjordan_@_blast.net>]

The box cars proclaimed "Route of Phoebe Snow", not "of the Phoebe Snow".  
The box cars advertised the symbol, not the train.  What came first, the 
chicken or the egg?  In this case, the "advertising of the route", not 
the train.

Multiple pictures of the box car (models from five different producers):
