The Blue Mountains are the place to go to see UP Autoracks with rear-end dupe power. The ASENP generally goes conventional but does occasionally come out of Seattle heavier than 5600 tons (the cutoff for conventional manifest/autos). It will pull up to the risers for fuel/recrew while the hostlers take the two remotes out to through the 12 Unlocks to the mainline. In addition, a good portion of the eastbound originators out of Hinkle go 'dupe', either in a 3X2 or 4X2 configuration: whichever will meet the 2.5 hptt requirement of the Blues. The loaded grainers, soda ash and (once upon a time) coal trains have a four/five pack of dupes placed within the middle of the train at Nampa, Idaho for the westbound run over the Blues to Hinkle where the five-pack is removed and the train is returned to a conventional configuration for the run down the Gorge. The SD40-2 helpers disappeared in 95 with the implementation of the dupe program. However, you can still find a set (HNANA1 and 2) that give bulk trains an extra shove out of Glenns Ferry.
