QUOTE: Originally posted by vandenbm Last week through central MN I was an empty coal train heading west with two orange SD70MAC's on the point and none on the rear. One thing to add to this, I've been seeing all kinds of ex Santa Fe SD75M's on coal trains through here too.
QUOTE: Originally posted by eolafan O.S., I never, ever, see a DPU coal train through here and there are very many coal trains every day of the week. All the coal through here have all the power on the head end. Where does BNSF run DPU trains to and from (other than Powder River)? Again, all BNSF coal trains through Aurora on their way to Chicago have power up front (and I have been watching the BNSF and BN for over twenty years here in Aurora). Jim
