Oil train DPUs
Title:  Oil train DPUs
Description:  I caught a 110 car oil train at Decatur with these CP units working as the DPU, capping off a NAFTA consist. How so?? The leader was a KCSM gray GE, followed by a couple of the US assigned units, though one of those was former TFM. Everybody can play!!
