| Description: |
Power accumulates in the KCS locomotive setout track at Wade, AR. KCS SD70ACe 4170 was the rear DP unit on southbound crude oil train OKCBR25. Here we see KCS Welsh coal train CKCWE26 setting out two of its rear three DPUs, UP AC44CW6350 and UP AC44CW 6680 on top of the KCS 4170. This train required a 2x3 DPU configuration to get over Rich Mountain. From this point on the extra horsepower is not needed so the train will run 2x1. |

This train just set them out on top of KCS SD70ACe 4170 which was the rear DPU on KCS crude oil train OKCBR25. The clear signal in the distance is for the CKCWE26 to back out of the siding after dropping the conductor off at the grade crossing. The train will make a blind shove (Rule 6.6 back up move) into the woods to get the conductor back on the head end. The train will the depart on signal indication on the main track (far right). |
