Love it... that's a long train. David at milepost 677.7 UP Brooklyn subdivision Shedd, Oregon

Looks like the ZG1BR train, about the right time of day for it.  Looks like maybe the former ZKCBR traffic is behind the mid-train DPU now that UP combines that former train's traffic with the ZG1BR at North Platte (don't usually see Schnieder National on UP's PNW-Chicago route).

When I saw this combined train a few times last summer and fall, the ZKCBR traffic would be, as a rule, ahead of the DPU. (Those Schneider containers were sometimes right up on the front.) But on this one from a couple of days ago, as well as the subsequent day's train (the ZG1BR that arrived yesterday evening) the KC traffic indeed appeared to be behind the DPU. So perhaps a change has been made in this regard.
