Tacoma Rail DPU's the Hill

After a lot of trial and error on Tacoma Rail's part, and some patience on my part, I finally got the Tacoma Rail Hill Job running to Frederickson with their new SD70ACe-P4's in DPU mode. This time they were taking 35 loads up the 3.75% grade. While they still doubled the hill, they took 28 cars in DPU mode, which is among the largest trains I've seen them pull.

If you have 3 to 4 minutes to spare, you might enjoy this video of Monday's run.
