Wierd Road Name

QGRY? What does it stand for? I saw it on a northbound CSX Freight, on a 40 or 50 foot repainted green boxcar.

Quebec Gastineau Railway, Inc. ?

Possibile, The CSX Here on the detroit and toledo, always are carrying some type of CP or CR, or "canada" type car, may it be on a westbound (Plymouth Diamond CP/CSX) carrying grain, or the Northbound boxcar, it was odd though. Never have saw that road signature till now. The CSX Plymouth Diamond has The C&O Northville Sub, Toldeo, and the CP detroit sub (TO WINDOR TUNNEL). Yu never know what you'll se in the Yard, going down I-96, however i have not seen a CP Caboose, a lot of old Chessie though, and a Conrail, one time.

Yes that would be correct.

Quebec Gatineau. No "s". Part of the G&W Company.

I've seen and handled some of those cars before. They are generally used for transporting paper for newsprint.
