Several years ago out in the Nebraska Panhandle we used to see ATSF power on BN trains regularly. One railroad will use the other railroads locos and then pay back an equal number of "horsepower hours" (remember now, an SD40-2 is a big electric generator driven by a diesel power plant. So it generates "horsepower hours" instead of "kilowatt hours" which is what your electric meter at your house keeps track of.). We see CSX power on Union Pacific trains quite often here in Kansas City. Earlier this week a train was waiting for a green board just South of the Noland Road grade crosssing in Independence with a big CSX General Electric unit on the point. Apparently CSX owed UP some horsepower hours.
