This is  a multi part question which may turn out to be very interesting. 
First did the  EL ever exchange power with the NKP? 
No.  Not that I can ever recall.  However the NKP did operate  over the EL 
in Cleveland from Literary Street to the West End Tower and also to  the PRR 
at C&P Crossing with the "Pullers".  They operated between the  NKP and the 
W&LE and between the NKP and the PRR using rights over the  EL.  I worked 
at Bridge 2.22 in Cleveland c.1966--1968 and they operated  each trick.

Did the  EL ever exchange power with the Great Northern with the locos 
having the green  and orange paint? 
Occasionally, with the EL-BN power pool a GN unit would show up in the  
green/orange paint scheme.

And  finally an observation question, What is the oddest foreign power seen 
on the  EL that you have seen? (individual's observation, not  photo).
N&W SD's running on the St. Louis Cannon Ball and the New York Cannon  
Ball.  They frequently operated long hood first, which was their "legal"  front. 
 Also, after the Conrail merger the M-K cab units 5301, 5302 and  also the 
former SP&S Alco Road Switcher units in the 4000 series operating  out of 
Brier Hill on the Warren Run.  Also, in EL days, Alco C-415  demonstrator unit 
worked Akron and Meadville.
