I wanna start on this HELM project. I just cant figure out what the base car used to be. As in what railroad owned it before Helm. Any guesses? I thought GT or CN because they have that I shape around their reporting marks but none say CUSION CARGO on them.

That is either L&N or DTI. But I think it is L&N because there is one like that in the yard in North Little Rock.
