Hi Shaun [:)] The lease idea is not a bad one. Also consider this . . . many railroad have run throughs with THEIR engines going on into another railroads territory. Here N S and CSX both have trackage rights on UP. So I see both NS and CSX power on UP trackage. I have been thinking about sending you a photo I took of CN power here in North Little Rock [:0] . I was able to snap that photo during a bus tour of the N L R, UP yard during their open house. Some railroads use to have (still might) agreements with one or more railroads on a "shared train" with each railroad providing power. I read an article once about UP, Frisco, and SCL all providing one loco each for a train that ran through each of their territories. Today it is not uncommon to see "other" power on a railroad. AND since it is your railroad, you can use one of the ideas already suggested or paint the loco into a CN scheme. Just because CN didn't buy the loco in real life doesn't mean you can't run it with a CN scheme on your layout. [;)] [:)]
