BNSF will regularly run DPUs on their manifests that run on the Moffat. To the best of my recollection, before this train, I hadn't ever seen DPUs setup on a UP manifest. However, the sand being hauled by the MNYPH here is very heavy, so a single DPU swing helper cut in about 2/3 of the way through the train probably makes good sense!
