California Unit Train DPU's
Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2023 2:58 pm
Hey all,
I've seen BNSF unit grain trains typically with a 3x2x1 setup head north to Bakersfield through Tehachapi and emptys headed East with a simple 3 unit lead. Anyone know when and where that other power gets cut and ends up?
I would've thought that these unit trains are kept together and bounced between terminals in the same configuration to save man hours switching and cutting them out.
Thanks.
