Maybe CN is leaseing them because of the retirement of most of WC's SD45's?

Usually the UP units can be seen on the coal trains.
A few weeks ago there were two BNSF units and two NS units on a southbound out of FDL.

Kudos to writer Katie Long for including the details needed to report the story, short and succinct. Too many of today's writers would have launched into a tirade about how this train fire affected the environment, who was at fault, blah, blah, blah.
Katie, you have a future.
P.S. And kudos to me for resisting the temptation to say "Long kept it short."

Appears that it could be a UP GE unit (?)
