Columbia Trust history is interesting. One of it's founders was Patrick J Kennedy, grandfather of Pres. Kennedy, and JFK's father Joe Sr. was it's president for a time.
BTW most freight cars were / are bought through a trust arrangement of some kind, kind of like a mortgage financing in real estate. Usually the cars just have a small plate that has the trust information; it's small enough that if a model has it you probably won't notice it unless you really look for it.
