Jacob Nelson General Was all of the help for this train because it was long? Or because it has to travel up and down so much elevation? Or maybe both 7/26/2009 12:48:51 PM
Chris Paulhamus General It's because of the elevation. UP usually runs their coal trains on the Joint Line with a 2+3 (or 2)+2 arrangement. BNSF on the other hand, usually ops for the 2+2 arrangement. 7/26/2009 4:50:31 PM
