It makes economic sense. Locomotives don't come cheap and most of the time the RR has all the motive power they need. When they're in a pinch for one reason or another, they just call around until they find another road that has some power they can spare, then agree to loan them some of their own back in return once the pinch subsides.

Although I don't disagree, I believe it's more a run through thing when a train transfers from one road to another. Why waste time assuring all the locos are branded with the current road's power when the train is ready to go as it is?

Obviously, the few remaining railroads finally learned what business they're in. At long last.
