Here are some trademarks I have discovered about some railroads:

Conrail- the red classification lights on the noses/Flexicoils on SD40-2's and SD50's
Southern Pacific- rooftop air conditioners/MARS lights/Tunnel motors
Santa Fe- rooftop air conditioners/Warbonnets
Southern/Norfolk and Western- high short hoods
Missouri Pacific- no dynamic brakes
Seaboard- nose mounted headlights
Canadian National- Draper Tapers/Snow hatches behind the cabs on SD40's
Illinois Central- same as Missouri Pacific
Chicago North Western- nose mounted bells

Feel free to share any of your discoveries. :wink:
