Recently through MN I've seen a lot more DPU's on the rear of heavy trains. Heavy trains have always gone through here in the past, but usually with a lot of head end power. Is DPU catching on even more with railroads? What are the rail crews on the forum seeing? <br /> <br />I know some of the advantages are fuel economy and added train length are there others? <br /> <br />Here's one example: BNSF 4040 shoving on the rear of grain loads. <br /> <br />[img]http://cda.morris.umn.edu/~vandenbm/donnellydpu.jpg[/img]
