Western Railroad Discussion > New Caltrans Single Level Equipment on the moveDate: 10/02/19 10:09 New Caltrans Single Level Equipment on the move Author: KM-ML4000 The first two Siemens built single level passengers for Caltrans are supposed to move from Siemens in Sacramento sometime today, headed for TTCI in Pueblo. This will be a special move handled by the UP.
KM Date: 10/02/19 10:11 Re: New Caltrans Single Level Equipment on the move Author: joemvcnj Will these cars run as link-barred sets, or as individually coupled cars ?
Date: 10/02/19 10:35 Re: New Caltrans Single Level Equipment on the move Author: KM-ML4000 On Caltrans, they will be run as sets with semi-permanent couplers between the cars, and standard couplers between the locomotive/NPCUs.
Date: 10/02/19 10:37 Re: New Caltrans Single Level Equipment on the move Author: joemvcnj So for this move, how do they handle it if they have a semi-permanent coupler on one or both ends ?

I believe the IDOT's cars will be configured in 1,2,and 3 car configurations.

Date: 10/02/19 11:30 Re: New Caltrans Single Level Equipment on the move Author: ble692 Both cars were coupled together just inside the gate last night looking like they were ready to go. The move will be run by the UP as the SFLPU 02. Not called as of yet. Power shows to be UP 8477 & UP 6432.

Thanks for the details - sadly won't be able to go catch it, so hoping we get some pics on TO once it heads out.

Date: 10/02/19 15:28 Re: New Caltrans Single Level Equipment on the move Author: KM-ML4000 California was the lead on the cars, Illinois was the lead on the locomotives, so not sure who hitch hiked with who......
