<p>[quote user="MichaelSol"]MRL leases 114 locomotives to other railroads, and uses 58 units on its own lines. The majority of the MRL fleet is used off-property by other railroads. I have no doubt you can see MRL locomotives and equipment off-property. That's where most of the fleet is.[/quote] </p><p> When I see MRL [we used to call it Monkeys Running Loose] locos in tandem with other locos on other RR's what I see is 1, maybe 2 locos in a supporting position. What I'm Talking about in the places I quoted in my earlier post is ALL MRL LOCOS coming in for the CC, THEN the crew vans [picking up crews] that are clearly marked MONTANA RAIL LINK SYSTEM on the drivers, and passenger side doors. and [Once AGAIN] I've seen this [Not just the all MRL Loco Trains, but the Crew Vans Too Clearly Posted MONTANA RAIL LINK SYSTEM] in Dickinson [which according to Murphsiding is supposed to be BNSF], Mandan [which according to Murph is supposed to be BNSF], and Dilworth [Also supposed to be BNSF].</p><p>Also if the trains are BNSF instead of MRL the radio chatter in those places should sound like "......................BNSF train Number #*****.............", but what I hear in those places is".........................MRL Train #*****............." </p>
