[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by CShaveRR I would think that you'd probably not see DP units on an auto-rack train, because--loaded or empty--they're some of the lightest cars around, and a train requiring the added power would probably be too long to efficiently run anywhere! Intermodal with DPU--I haven't seen it on this end of the UP, but that's not saying anything about conditions west of North Platte--or even west of Rochelle, for that matter. [/quote] I haven't seen a DPU on a pure autorack train, but I have seen it many times on an intermodal/autorack train. There are certain restrictions on CP for DPUs concerning cushion drawbar limitations, and short car long car combinations, therefore it's unlikely you would ever see a DPU on the end of a pure autorack train, at least on the CP.
