    Let's see those big several unit lashups or those that are unique. How about this Espee freight lashup that wouldn't qualify because of time, of course.

    Multiple Unit or Multiple Unit Control (as in multiple engines lashed up).

    Flash, did you kick the Colonel out of his job? :)

    I certainly did not. In fact, I just wrote him about all the things I had been doing to his contest business. Hope he won't yell at me much. He is on a business trip about his 1:1 railroad job and will be back Friday PM.

    NSFan14:

    Time to catch a 111 or two. He always has a bundle of power with him. ;)

    Trio of EMD rent-a-wrecks, none lettered for DNGO or TNER. Not an unusual thing to see a dog's-breakfast lashup on a shortline (or a Class 1)

    I just realized if it was UP, it would have to be a UP leader, for the cab signals... Doh!:p

    Here's my submission. M U Cable and hoses on Norfolk Southern engine 8673. Note the empty plug for dummies.[​IMG] Does this mean they have some workers with low IQs?
