Leasing Company Paint Schemes

My early experiences with leased power were centered largely around the many units Conrail leased from Precision National to ease a severe power shortage shortly after its implementation. PNC's green and yellow scheme became very familiar around the system.

From railpictures.net:

In the current era, hardly a day passes without seeing at least one locomotive owned by a leasing company.

Not only locomotives in leased liveries, but also rolling stock. Constantly parked on a siding next to the MRC building are strings of plain gray, [faded and otherwise], 4 bay  GATX cylindrical hoppers with GPLX reporting marks and numbers. I wish one of the manufacturers would just do plain gray hoppers of this type with dimensional data markings and furnish a decal sheet for GATX with various road numbers so one can build a fleet of these....that would be nice

A number of Precision's units were of Frisco heritage and retained SLSF colors:

This picture was taken with the units in service for Conrail.
