Hi there, <br />Last weekend, while driving from Worthington, MN to the Twin Cities along the UP, we met a manifest train with an SD90 on the point, two ex SP GE's on the head end as well, and a UP GE (AC 4400?) pushing on the rear. <br /> <br />I didn't realize that UP used DPU power on anything other than coal and REALLY didn't expect to see it on the prairie of central Minnesota. The train was South of Mankato at Lake Crystal, MN. <br /> <br />Is this common on UP? I've seen DPU in the Powder River Basin and on the Trains webcam on coal. I've also seen them run through to Kenosha, WI to the power plant, but that's it.
