Zach Pumphery	General	That's an old HLCX unit, painted in primer, go ahead and put that into the database as CSX 6296, since that's what it is.	4/25/2005 6:53:05 PM

Tim Huemmer	General	That can't be a CSX engine, 6296 is a GP40-2 on the CSX Roster. Its an HLCX engine in the old Oneida & Western green paint.	4/25/2005 7:29:02 PM

Tim Huemmer	General	Well not sure about the O&W heritage, but definitely not CSX	4/25/2005 7:36:26 PM

Joseph Belote	General	HLCX 6296 is ex BN 7085. Its short-term lease extension expired in Dec-1996 and it was returned to Helm Financial, along with three other units - BN 7086, 7094, 7096 respectively. All four were painted in a lime green shade of primer.	4/25/2005 11:01:16 PM

Jonathan Guy	General	Thanks for the Info. It is similar to a faded O&W unit, but they were all repainted into BCOL. But why the CSXT style renumber?	4/26/2005 12:21:59 AM

Adam Parsons	General	I saw this same unit go through Folkston during Feburary of this year and I can assure you that she didn't have any kind of patch when she rolled through.	4/26/2005 6:48:55 AM

Tim Huemmer	General	Ive seen some HLCX units that have been painted a blue color similar to the patch color, not sure why they chose yellow numbers, maybe because the nasty green paint?	4/26/2005 8:10:54 AM

Zach Pumphery	General	Woah, it's about a year too late, but I just noticed I said put it in as CSX, lol, meant HLCX but ya got it squared away, I'm 11 months too slow!	3/22/2006 7:34:22 PM
