Recently I saw a strange lash-up on the BNSF River Sub by my house. Here's how it went: 1. SD40-2 --- BN 2. SD70MAC --- BNSF pumpkin 3. SD50 --- Oakway leasing, still in full EMD paint 4. C44-9W --- BNSF pumpkin I couldn't figure out why BNSF would running an A.C. unit in the middle of 3 D.C. units espically since D.C.units have the transition phase with the traction motors, and A.C. units do not. Also, why they would be running a single GE in the midst of all those EMD's ( GE's have a much different transition phase than EMD's [much rougher] and just one GE in a lashup of all EMD's can screw up the transition of the EMD's). A friend of mine suggested that it was a power shortage because he saw a SUPER odd lash-up himself, It was a coal train running in DPU, up front; 1. SD70MAC 2. GP35 3. GP28M in rear: 1. SD70MAC How 'bout them apples?![8D][wow][;)][yeah]
