Hi all

A quickie... what does SLC mean on those MMA-type boxcars? I looked online but didn't find anything...

Perhaps not the most offical source of confirmation (since it is a modeler club website about a project boxcar), but from here http://emmrc.freeyellow.com/projects.htm:
Although this car has SLC (San Luis Central) reporting marks, it was rebuilt at the Derby Shops for the Montreal, Maine, & Atlantic. SLC is also owned by MMA's parent company. The car is Wisconsin Central Maroon with a silver roof and three color graphics
So you are correct, sir...

Hmmm, sort of explains it. Didn't realize MMA was run by a company involved in POLISH railroading!
