What road names are appropriate

[NW Modeling List]

Speaking about the north end of the Shenandoah Division the most interesting cars I saw in the 1950's were the red/white/blue boxcars with "State of Maine Products" on their sides.  Probably Bangor  Aroostock or Maine Central.  Also the Central of Georgia 50' cars, black with a big silver oval on their sides, two or three cars at a time.  Other than that, you name it.  Most boxcars were oxide red in the 50's. Almost all the hoppers were N&W in my memory.  It's interesting what you can find in N&W videos and vintage photos.

  I finally got around to cataloging all the rolling stock I have, and I realized that most if not all of what I have is for N&W.  


  What other road names would have had been seen on N&W rails during the 40s-60s?  I figure Virginian is a given, and maybe Southern.  What else?  I'm looking for rolling stock that I can get that will add some variety while still being prototypical for that period.
