While cruising the different forums I ran across these:
There are two SD-45 (carbody) leasers in Olean - I first spotted them last Wed. I'll post the numbers later. I'm not sure but I assume them to be additional lease power for the WNYP - needed for new tonnage and miles.....(DFT and 397/398, etc). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Allegany. I see about 4 units there every day along with a mix of WNY&P
power. Is the railroad short on power or is something else happening? I
am curious if the powers that be might be looking at additional power
as the alco's are getting harder to find?

Those are from the yahoo LAL Forum, so with the 3 SD40's and 2 SD45's that is a significant amount of lease power all from HLCX. It must be taking too long to ready the Big Alcos in Cohocton. Also, those RRPX units in Falconer must be down for the count, and not enough power for the big jobs over Keating Summit and on to Hornell. Anyone get any numbers or pictures?
