DPU trains (was Re: Thunder on Blue Ridge)

[NW Mailing List]

Are you all referring to DPU's as remote control or controlled by a   crew 
in the locomotive.
The old WV law on the H-town District did not permit remote control units  
in their state.

202 and 23G both just came through  Christiansburg within the last hour.
202 did not have DPU, but 23G  did.

As for DPUs being illegal in WV, NS has been running DPU coal  trains out
on the Pocahontas Division for the last couple years, so I guess  not.
