The splitting up of Conrail led to power shortages on both the CSX & NS.
So, the lease units were called up to supplement both railroad's rosters.
And, of course, they added a splash of color.

National Railway Equipment (NREX) EMD SD40 870 started out as CNW 870.
Here, it's on the Norfolk Southern @ Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania.
October, 1999.

CSX couldn't get rid of them it seemed; I was shooting leased SD40s right up until 2015! I miss the Furbies (FURX) and the Bluebirds (CEFX); thanks for sharing...
