With DPU technology more and more refined, it is becoming more and more common to find DPU's on manifests in addition to coal trains. A nice trio of elephant-style, flagged C44AC-CTE's made up the midtrain power on this 6,200 foot long MNYGJ as the train proceeds down the siding.

At east Plain, an exceptionally lengthy MNYGJ takes the siding to meet an eastbound coal load. At 6,530 feet, Plain is not a short siding. Yet the MNYGJ only cleared the east switch by about five cars once it was in the clear!

It would seem that the lead unit is going to have some difficulties flying, what with only half a wing at all...
