SL&RG - Permian Basin / Iowa Pacific Roster (2005-...)
Initially after the acquisition of the SLRG from RailAmerica by Permian Basin / Iowa Pacific, the Helm leasers were kept on. As time went on, those units were replaced by the short-term GP39-2 leasers, and then finally by the F40M-2F units. In late 2006/early 2007, three of the four F40s left the roster, and the railroad appears to be standardizing on ex-LMX GE B39-8E units.

Note: Three more F40 hulks were purchased for conversion to SLRG road slugs later in 2006. These units are supposed to be: CDAC/MMA 462 (ex-Amtrak 362), ex-MMA/Amtrak 260, and ex-MMA/Amtrak 263.
Note: Four more units are apparently underway to the SLRG as of 1-May-2006. FP10s 1100 and 1114 have been acquired (presumably leased) for passenger service. These are ex-MBTA units, rebuilt by Paducah from GM&O F3A units 805A and 811A respectively. Railfan & Railroad also reports acquisition of GP8 HLCX 852 (currently on the Texas & New Mexico) and GP38 HLCX 3635.
Note: The F40M-2Fs will be converted to extended range dynamic braking to better deal with the slow speeds and steep grades of La Veta Pass, per Carlos Llamas.
Thanks to Ed Ellis of Iowa Pacific, the Loconotes list, and "geoff_s" on Trainorders.com for providing information on the new F40M-2Fs
