I was looking at the units go by when I notice that the back of the RLCX had patched marker lights (like conrail) dose any one know the roots of the RLCX any help is needed

RLCX is a leasing company that has mostly SD40-2’s. Other leasing companies are, FURX, CEFX, GCFX, RLNX, ACFX(grain car leaser), and GNFX. The X at the end means “leasing”, but I don’t know where RLCX is located.
RLCX 8527 would be a B39-8. These units have been on lease to CSX for about 4 months now.
also is there any sites that I should try for my problem about the RLCX and his marker lights
I think it has always been like that. These units are exLMX and any photo that I find that shows the rear, also shows patched marker lights.
RLCX is Relco, based in Minooka, IL (near Joliet). The firm is well-known for its lease fleet of Alco switchers (including a High Hood) which generally work as plant switchers.
X at the end of a reporting mark represents a non-railroad owner, not necessarily a lease unit or car.
