Does anyone know what CNUR stands for. I caught this in Napoleon, OH going west just outside of town with a Railbox and a couple of hoppers today.

the CNUR is using the old IHRC yard and shop in connersville, the unit they are using is a GP38 #20, the unit is white with a big red spartan helmet on the long hood, i was thinking it was a MSU unit at first. for the most part it looks like they are car storage. alot of ATW auto racks, and covered hoppers...
