Western Railroad Discussion > HLGX locos

I was foaming in Flagstaff this past weekend, and among the usual and interesting things going through was a black GE loco with HLGX markings. Does anyone know what this was? Model, number, and leasing company, and roster? Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

Black GE, well, black sounds like ex-NS, but hard to tell much more....

I shot HLCX 6816 (I believe HLCX and HLGX are related), an ex-NS C36M in N Texas awhile back.

HLGX is part of Helm Leasing. That engine you saw was a C36-7E.
Does anyone have the former number for the 6800 and the 6807?

HLCX/HLGX are one in the same. Helm Finacial.They have nine seperate reporting marks.

The HLGX 6802 and 6804 are now HLCX 6900 and 6902 in Maroon & Blue Paint.
