They are actually running from LA to the Chicago in 41.5 hours. They have less than one (1) hour of layover time from start to finish. The actual "bullet trains" run through Chicago without yarding, the other four trains are yarded by UP at Canal Street and CSX at 59th Street. The trailers are rubbered between the two yards on city streets. It would seem to me that they just put the power on and run it through the fuel rack with the train on it, just switching crews along the way. It would be interesting to see what kind of money UPS IS putting up for this kind of speed.
