Thanks for asking this. I have watched those locos go by on the track behind where I work for weeks and wondered who the heck they belonged to. I even made myself a note to ask about them but of course I forgot about the note until I read this.

[:)]and now we know! I had no idea either.

I think it is for Helm Leasing Company. They lease out allot of motive power to railroads when they are short on power.

Thanks DMIR, I appreciate it.
