Helm Leasing (HLC) #5021
Title:  Helm Leasing (HLC) #5021
Description:  Scanned from a print I took. Setting, among freinds at the KCS/SOO Knoche yard engine terminal on this date. Thanks to Butch Getzs' help and comment below helping me identify this as an SD40A and most likely ex-IC# 6021. Can someone confirm HLC is in fact Helm Leasing?

Helm Leasing (HLLX) #2590
Title:  Helm Leasing (HLLX) #2590
Description:  Scanned from a print taken by my friend Wes Rupe. Wes's notes say he caught this setting with 2 C&IM SD38-2's on the Cotton Belt at I-220 near Shreveport. I assume HLLX was another "arm" of Helm Leasing, if not please comment. I found only 1 previous picture of this engine on this site and it had a rich history, described in very good detail by Roberto Alaniz.
