"Hey buddy, can you lend a hand?" UP's MNYRO is stopped on the main at Plain because they are having issues getting anywhere close to track speed. DS-82 aligned BNSF's QDVPVJ into the siding alongside the MNYRO. The train stopped and the engineer hopped in to the end DPU to ensure that it was configured and working properly. Turns out it was and the train, with only three units, was likely under-powered.

BNSF's Denver-Provo trackage rights train has an all-EMD consist on the point as it heads west on the siding at Plain. The train is overtaking an under-powered MNYRO which is holding on the main.

A single AC4400CW helps push the QDVPVJ through the siding at Plain. Since the MNYRO was moving very slowly (due to a shortage of power), DS-82 let the BNSF train get ahead!

DPU's on the Moffat have become common place on nearly every train that runs, whether it is a coal train or a manifest. This westbound North Yard to Roper manifest is no exception as a C44AC-CTE does its part to push through Plain.
