This is weird how BNSF is loaning four axle locos and that CN appears to only use them in Canada! How long will CN use these? How many units? I would like to catch the BN colored diesels!!!!

CN is in need of four axle power.

BNSF owes CN horsepower hours.

CN asked BNSF to repay the horsepower hours with 4-axle units that they were not using.

BNSF said ok.

CN has enough 4-axle units stateside but needs them in Canada.
