Last Friday I watched a four unit way freight switching scrap metal on Norfolk Southern. They had two TFM units in the middle, with NS bracketing them. That was here, in Columbus, GA. <br /> <br />There's been a lot of strange locomotives running through town lately. I've seen UP, KCS, BNSF units in the area. I went up to Chattanooga, TN, not long ago and saw WC, UP, BNSF and even a blue and white GE leased locomotive, all in the same train. In some spots it's kind of hard to figure out who "owns" the train... <br /> <br />Which leads to the question- do "host" railroads make any effort to stick their own locomotives on point ahead of leased or loaned equipment? <br /> <br />Might be time to buy stock in those fellas up there in Erie... if the railroads are getting short of their own horsepower, they might be buying new horses... <br /> <br />Erik
