Atlanta Rails	General	Not as efficient but certaintly more interesting than DPU's, good shot. If i tried this today id probably be arrested!	7/3/2009 4:59:24 PM

Darrell Krueger	General	Just as efficient as todays DPU's. The only difference is that the electronics back in those days were so huge that you had to have a dedicated car. Now they're so small that they can fit in an equipment rack right ahead of the engineer.	10/3/2010 9:17:50 PM
