The DPU on the coal train, seen from the railfan chase vehicle
Actually, more like dragging at this point, since the train is heading down into the dip along Wolf Creek, and through Dorsey siding. Hell need them for the climb out, and Ill beat the train to Decatur with time to spare
The NS unit on the coal train passes the head end of the 261 as the crew does the roll by.
The coal trains all get DPUs, in this case something of a surprise, a CP GE, not unusual, and an NS DC to AC unit, which was unexpected.

The DPU on the northbound TXUX train reflects in Butler Creek as it approaches downtown Noel.
Empty coal trains seem to get DPU power on a regular basis; it wasnt always a sure thing. It does help get a well lit photo when shooting a northbound. This interesting set was trailing an empty TXUX train at Gravette
