Anyone know what happenned to this loco? Has it become part of a lease fleet, or moved to a shortline since the BN/BNSF lease agreement finished? I've found pics of various ex-LMX machines working for shortlines or other lease companies, but I have the Atlas run of 8526, so wondered if it could be repatched without renumbering. TIA
I'll have to check my photo collection to see if I have a shot of that unit. A lot of the ex-LMS units are now leasers RLCX and I see them on CSX freights. Harold
Thanks for that Harold. I'm very tempted to give it a go, same loco or not! Really fascinating how it's weathered.
Martyn, I'd say go for it... it's your railroad and it looks prototypical enough. If it makes you feel better, I'll Photoshop the unit and change it's number Harold
