Not sure about those american roads, but CP, here in British Columbia anyway, puts DPU power on just about everything. <br /> <br />They seem to have a fixation with a single locomotive up front and a single one on the very end, and if there is more tonnage than two can handle, they'll put 2 on the head end and one on the very rear. <br /> <br />Don't often see mid-train DPUs anymore, I suppose it is easier to pop one on the end then it is to marshall it somewhere in the middle. <br /> <br />In these Parts CN doesn't use any DPUs at all, ever, all power is on the head end.
