UP piece of crap drag on the Mojave Sub

UP runs (or at least it was runnning) a mixed freight drag over the Mojave Sub eastbound (south) that originates farther north, and it almost always is/was a really big piece of s*** that if stopped, would likely come apart trying to get started again. As such, most everyone had to get in the clear for it. You would most certainly try VERY HARD to get to Kern Jct. before its arrival. It seems to be charcaterized by DPU's cut in ahead of the rear by about 15 or so cars, and it usually seems underpowered. It is often seen at Saco waiting for either a patch crew...or is that where the B'field crew goes to get it?

I need a little more info on the particulars for slide captions. Where does this train orignate/terminate? UP symbol?
