A preview of a video that will go live later this week. Western roads have been running with Distributed Power for several years now; however, until PSR, neither of the eastern roads had made much use of the technology, either because of unions (for helper crews) business conservatism, training, or expense. Regardless of previous barriers, since the operations reorganization that started early this year, NS has started running DPUs on four of its regular manifests over the Pittsburgh and Fort Wayne Lines (10K, 14G, 39G and 38G). In this video, y'all will see my first catch of a DPU-powered freight, NS 10K running with an ES44DC, a Dash 9, an SD70ACe, and a rare SD80MAC. Also of note in the train are some Reading and Northern hoppers, orange NS MOW stone hoppers, and the lovely P5 horn on the leading ES44DC.
