Canadian Railroads > Less power for the oil trains?Date: 12/15/14 12:49 Less power for the oil trains? Author: march_hare Noted two oil trains arriving at Albany this morning with only one unit up front, and one DPU. Hadn't seen that before, all the oil and boozeliners have been at least two units up front, and maybe a D{U maybe not. Is this a new standard?

KG Date: 12/16/14 10:20 Re: Less power for the oil trains? Author: Lackawanna484 I haven't seen any one plus one oil trains down here on Conrail Shared Assets in NJ. I wonder if NS (the other owner of Shared Assets) isn't on board?
NS, until recently, ran its 66z oil trains with two up front and two in DPU. Date: 12/17/14 16:52 Re: Less power for the oil trains? Author: tihess march_hare Wrote:
