Railroaders' Nostalgia > Frisco-UP run-throughs in the '70s questionDate: 02/01/22 14:43 Frisco-UP run-throughs in the '70s question Author: x6924w I have seen and heard that on UP's run-through trains out of No Platte for the Frisco there had to be a 4 axle unit in the last position in the consist. I have seen several photos that appear to show that with it often being a UP GP30B. Does anyone know why this was or was it really a requirement?

We would send hostlers over to the Frisco and Milw road yards and they would bring the power back having to use a tail hose most of the time esp out of the Fresno off sw Blvd in KC and from the Milw we would use a gpa and several gpb to haul coal trains to their yard in NKC and then go around the world back to the UP with power
