I have some nice boxcars of SSW (e.g. 24095) and SP (699728). They have a nice modern design but I did not use them on my modern layout because SSW and Sp are longtime gone.
To my surprise I did find lots of photos of similar cars taken after the year 2000 where the cars are clearly signed as SSW and SP cars. The cars look well painted and the paint does not look like a leftover from the SSW and SP times.
Question:
Did UP simply keep the SSW and SP "label" and is still using them on their rolling stock? Why are they doing so?
