Nice video! I live in Salt Lake City and I would say more than half the trains that come through here have DPU units. In the last Four years I've been seeing more trains with DPU units than I've ever seen. I started noticing it right after the economy took a crap.

I beg to differ, electric trains may have their advantages over diesels. Diesels are more heavier and have more traction than electric trains. Horse power is speed and traction is power, that's why you see most freight railroads who know they haul some major tonnage go for GE or EMD Diesel electric locomotives. Electric trains are best for passenger services because of their speed.

Howdy,
The person that drives the train is called the ENGINEER (right side) and the person that talks back and forth to dispatch is called the CONDUCTOR (left side) - It's as simple as that! ;-)
