I stopped in to Pig's Eye this afternoon and the second train was the U-SEMBIR not much exciting with the power until the rear end came into view, the BNSF 5345 and company shoving the train the BNSF 693 was along for the ride. I have never seen the BNSF use two DPU's around here has anyone else :?:

I read somewhere that two DPUs are being used on the all-rail tac trains. I've never seen one myself though.

On the Santa Fe it's not uncommon to have two or even three DPUs on heavy trains.

On Tuesday night, UP had three on the front end and two on the back of a coal train. They were coming off the Robert St. Bridge passed Hoffman Av.

When i used to go up the skally alot i saw alot of tac trains with two on the hind end.. seemed like the empties the most.

The UP coal train with the two on the rear were probably pushers.

I've seen it once or twice but it isn't real common around here. Tac trains I want to say - same as Will...

The UP coal uses pushers to get up to WC/CN in New Brighton, they are manned units as they cut off and run light back down once they get to New Brighton.
