This is just a switcher that assembles trains at the intermodel yard. Usually it is there around noon on Saturday, around 1 on Sunday. I'm not sure about during the week but the outbound Z/Q train only leaves on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday during the morning (8 or 9 am) so it might show up some time around then. If it isn't seen at Gand and Bethany Home like it is in this picture, it is sometimes parked by the depot at 59th and Grand. They probably park it as Mobest when not working here so the RR can use it other places and the unit does change pretty frequently; Last weekend it had a GP35-3R in Heritage 3 paint.
