This is the first time I have seen a DPU unit on one of these trains I wish I could of caught this train as it made its way north out of dillon as it was probably good size with a DPU on the rear and all the headend power.

This is all the shots I was able to do because with such sadness I had to leave montana and my grandmother (probably for the last time) to get back to the rat race of Los Angeles hopefully one day I will be able to call Montana home, thanks for looking Tim
