Never seen a train like this...

This was taken in Tennessee. If you can read on the side it says: "HICK" Does anyone have any more info on this train?

Any thoughts on the shot?

If it said "HLCX", it would be a leaser locomotive from Helm Leasing Corporation and going by the road number it is a SD40-2; heres the background info I was able to dig up:

6211; ex DME 6384/HLCX 6384/SOO 6384/MILW 194

That is what number and who has owned it before they acquired it.

By the way, nice shot.

What a nice catch. I have'nt seen Dokata, Minnesota and Eastern painted unit since I went out to South Dokata. What is intersiting to me is that HLCX owned the unit than sold it to DM&E and they sold it back. I would count that pic as a rare shot of a paint scheme you will probably not see again. BTW I like the shot as well.
