A trio of SD70ACes have been cut in as the mid-train swing helpers on this eastbound coal load. Upon reaching North Yard, it will be up to the head end crew to cut these units out and deliver them to the fuel tracks. Up until a few years ago, this would have been the job of hostlers based at North Yard. However, UP eliminated all the hostler positions in 2018.
