Empties get a push |
| Description: |
Sometimes the empty unit trains get DPUs, sometimes they dont. Today, the empty coal train from Texas has a pair, aiding its northbound trek. |

| Title: |
Coal train DPU |
| Description: |
I dont always pay attention to the DPUs, as the head end is usually a more interesting shot. Also, if Ive let the train get all the way past me, it can be hard to catch back up. I do like to get a shot, though. Since the chase ends here-the line between here and Sallisaw is impossible to follow-I let the train go by and shot the rear end. Nothing special today, not even the usual set up, which is typically a home road unit, with a pair of KCS six axles added at Pittsburg. Three BNSFs today. |

DPU coming |
| Description: |
The DPU on the TXUX train rolls toward me, a typical three unit set. This one has what is now an unusual unit bringing up the rear. |
