Yes it does help.  I spotted this locomotive performing yard duties
at the BNSF North Yard in in Fort Collins, Colorado on... Feb 1.
I had a suspicion that it was an ex-PC locomotve.

I looked long and hard, but could find nothing that would give away
it's PC heritage.  Well, actually it was *quite* rusty in spots. :^)
