The "Lessor" usually is a large bank who purchases the diesels, and turns around and leases them to the railroad. After the lease period, the cost of the locomotive is usually amortized, and the units are usually sold or scrapped (if the units aren't in the best of mechanical condition). The U36C's were all scrapped... :( - Paul ------------------------------
