i've seen these big power units come through amarillo...are they really that heavy...or is there another reason for that much power...great catch...

[russell379x]

well they are that heavy BUT more units means less strugle = better fuel econemy...UP are putting DPU's on everything now just for the fact that having one pushing from the rear gives the train 7% better fuel econemy so instead of burning 10 gallons per mile it may only burn 8 or 7 gallons per mile plus all there new units are AC45CTE 4500 hp the older ones were AC4400CTE 4400 hp BNSF may seem like a big company but not as big as UP

The difference between the C44ACCTE and the C45ACCTE is that the latter is a GEVO (ES44AC) while the former is an AC4400CW. UP denotes them this way to separate them.
