Here is what UP OnLine says...

From UP OnLine, January 8, 2010:

Improving Safety, Efficiency, Customer Value

Dallas Departs Longest DP Train

January 8, 2010 | 04:50 p.m. CST

Union Pacific continues testing new configurations of distributed power to improve safety, efficiency and customer value.

Early this afternoon, a double-stack intermodal train carrying 618 containers departed the Dallas Intermodal Terminal destined to Long Beach and Oakland, Calif. As the longest train ever run on UP, the consist includes three locomotives on the head end, two sets of two locomotives throughout the train, and two locomotives on the rear.

Distributed power reduces in-train forces, improving train handling. It also can lead to employee and public safety enhancements, fewer derailments and lower maintenance costs. For example, the number of train separations has decreased when distributed power units are used, because in-train forces are better controlled with mid-train or rear remote locomotives.

In addition, such trains reduce fuel consumption and emissions. This train could take more than 600 trucks off our already congested highways.
