ML 440 with lease units
Title:  ML 440 with lease units
Description:  Conrail had a fleet of lease units under a subsidiary called Locomotive Leasing Services that primarily was shared with CN on a seasonal basis. By 1995 these units were coming home, and found their way onto many CR trains. Here one of them teams with a pair of SD40-2s to roll 20 COFC and 52 auto racks east on my 36th birthday.
