i imagine they are staying, with RMR own units out a lot

one engine was rebuilt last summer, engine wise

they have had problems with dynamic brakes dropping out and few other maladies on the RMR units

Maybe got a better lease rate, than UP was giving them,  but they most likely need to kept here.
