Notes:  
A

NREX 2013 demonstrated on the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern in Gary, IN in late Jan. 2008. It was first noted there on the EJ&E Yahoo group (http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/eje). As a demonstrator, it was painted in primer yellow with NREX 2013 stenciled on the side of the cab in black, suggesting it might be a temporary demonstration, as was done with NREX 2011, which demonstrated in primer on CN before becoming BNSF 1240. Interestingly, EJ&E is owned by CN.

B
NREX 2013 also demonstrated on the Indiana Harbor Belt in early Feb. 2008, and was supposed to demonstrate on the Belt Railway of Chicago in Feb. 2008. From various discussions. Per Ken Lanovich, The 2013's demo on BRC was cancelled, and the unit was returned to Dixmoor for repainting and recommissioning as BNSF 1286.
