I had an Interesting assortment of Athearn cars prior to going to Canada and the US in 1976. I crossed Canada first and the first US freight car I saw was very similar to the Green GN 40ft box car on a siding outside of Vancouver. By the time I had crossed Canada and not entered the US I had seen "duplicates" of all the US vehicles I owned at that time on a variety of trains with the exception of the Rio Grande freight cars I owned. Many of my freight cars at the time had builders dates from the late 30's to late 40's as I recall ( I have repainted some of course inc the Rio Grande ones) and yes I saw them behind mixes of FPA4's on a freight outside Toronto (yes they did haul freights with those engines) and F units so yes it is possible. But in any case it is your railway/road as well and I don't worry about the prototype police anyway!
