Helm Financial Corporation  (HLCX; also HATX and HL) is a leading railcar and locomotive lessor. The exact number of locomotives they own is a bit elusive, but certainly close to 1000 and changing daily. Like many lessors, they use a variety of paint schemes, including those of the original owner railroads. 3804 and 3842 are probably the closest to  "official" paint schemes for Helm.
