NS/BNSF engines in Lowell?

I know this could be like drinking kerosene and pissing on a brushfire, but here goes anyway.
A friend of mine told me she saw 3 lone engines creep through Lowell this weekend. Apparently it was a BNSF in the lead with 2 NS engines trailing, with nothing else.

I have read about GTI leasing CSX engines before, but does this seem odd to anyone else?

Run-thru power for Bow coal trains. Its NS pwoer as far as GRS is concerned.

Come soon you will see more NS on Guilford track!

Oh yea and after that it will soon be NS track.

Yea, then it will be UP track, until Pam Am Railroad buys it back and sells it to CP!! hahaah

ooh, that could be the best theory yet! can we add RailAmerica into the this sordid scheme somehow? they're such an easy target.

you can only comment in this JOKE thread about REAL Railroads like PAM AM RAILWAYS, now that is a well managed machine!!

Maybe Pan Am Railways is going to buy the NS. Maybe we've had it all wrong all this time....

(for anyone new to this board, do not take this post seriously.)

I heard they were looking at 40 year old locomotives that could fly and a new Boeing passenger jet that could pull intermodals.
