Mookie: Hard to say without knowing the grades, curve restrictions, switches, whatnot, that are present at this location. I assume what you are talking about is a DPU train, with the remote units controlled from the head end. In that case, he might have been bunching slack rather than risking a pull-in-two. <br /> <br />Larry: DPU locomotives all have the CRT screens and all the nice electronics, so the engineer can set up the screens to see exactly how the DPU units are performing. Usually he'll choose a display that will show him their tractive effort on a continuous basis. You can even look at each traction motor if you want, lube oil pressure, and even how well the air conditioner is working in that unit.
