Would the RS10 have been shut down? Doesn’t look like there’s any exhaust from it, and i don’t believe the UP units could MU with CP power.
Wow! What an amazing time period this must have been.
Jacob, the UP FA’s didn’t have MU on the cab ends, so that CP RS10 would have been isolated or dead.
Noted. Thanks, Dan.
My goodness…
I believe those UP units could only be coupled to each other in any event. That’s why they were not seen mixed with CP power. This was just before my time on CP, but a few of the old timers mentioned the UP power when complaints were being voiced over the “crusty” condition of the C&O GP-30s had to work in. They said the UP cab units were more decrepit than those GP-30s, something I can’t imagine. I recall one C&O unit having a small hole in the floor, in which a glint of daylight was visible. They were filthy inside too. But, these covered wagons look really “neat” don’t they?
