What I have noticed is that many of these don't have the railroad name, but simply the CN "noodle" plus www.cn.ca underneath. Is this an obvious sign of something? Maybe, or, maybe not.
While CN may change its name (remember the North American Railroad name proposed for the squashed BNSF/CN merger), it won't be Illinois Central! They're too ambitious for that.

It sure looks like it's headed to IC!While I too have recently seen many freight cars in IC grey with IC lettering that look sort of newly painted, I've also see plenty of cars in CN brown with fresh looking paint bearing various CN marks including several with the long gone CV (Central Vermont) on the sides. To me, this is just routine upkeep.
For an outfit destined for a merger, I've seen a LOT of IC rolling stock, in what looks like fresh paint!
