Comments on: Not the sort of advertising I see very often. Came across this nicely painted gon near the south end of the Stuart Southern RR trackage outside of Stoughton, SK. Jeremy & Carrie Johnston started up a trucking business in 1999 and in 2000 named it ‘JJ Trucking’. Currently their head office is located at Arcola, SK and their varied trucking is mostly confined to the South East Saskatchewan area. Curious to know if this is one of a kind. I suspect it is. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

Such promotional material is permitted on packaging; i.e. wrapped lumber, etc. Tank cars are exempt from this rule.

As those names suggest, those are American rules, and they prohibit third-party advertising on railcars. If cars are not interchanged (which may be the case with this SSS car), or the car is specifically assigned to a particular customer, or (I don't know the association between JJ Trucking and Stewart Southern) if this company owns the railway this is all fine.

Also, no vertical conspicuity markings? Perhaps OCS? Isn’t advertising on the side of railway freight cars prohibited by AAR rules? Also, no vertical conspicuity markings? Perhaps OCS?
