Who are the main locomotive leasing companies?

[Anonymous]

I am trying to track down a leased SD40-2 that keeps popping up on CSX in my area. I've already checked the CSX photo web site and it's not on their list. I'm hoping that somewhere there's an online folder of photos for different loco leasing companies.

Ken,
Just a thought, but have you checked the fallen flag Web site ?:

Do you have the reporting marks ?

The ones I see in Chicago are mostly GATX (General American Tank Car) or HELM. GATX are blue and Helm are maroon with very subtle blue stripes. GE also had a lease unit LMEX. They are gray with red markings. David L Joseph Co. may also lease engines. They have a ton of hoppers they lease.
