Junctionfan, any ideas?

Junctionfan, any ideas? No I stumped. I think I have heard something from a few people in my club but it was when I was working on the bench work so my mind was elsewhere. There is at least 3 people there who will be able to answer the reason. Our president is part of an ONR group/ society and is quite an ONR nut so when our club meets tomarrow for the Christmas party, I'll ask him. The only thing I can think of is that CN has used some of the ONR locomotives in the past and the ONR wants some of CN's to make up in hours CN took from the ONR-pool power.
