Empty CSX coal train with 2 dpu's

I had some free time after work today, so I brought out the coal train. I wanted to see how the new dash 9 and the sd40-2 would act as pushers. I know I don’t have very many coal cars, but I was curious. After adjusting some settings, I was surprised at how well everything ran together. It’s time for a couple more batteries and several new coal cars! :smiley:

GREAT video, Andy may start using pushers on some of his trains after watching this !

Thanks Dale!

That would make for some really interesting operating sessions!

I’m sure two engineers could handle a 30 car coal train. The rear engine could start pushing after the front engine started moving.

Nice run, Matt… They look like they run very well together…

Nice video Matt , the low camera angles make the train look very realistic. Gotta loose the blue boxcar though .

Dale, the revolution does it all for you. No need to have two engineers…but that would be interesting! :smiley:

Thanks Andy!

Thanks Mike! Long time no see! Yeah, I haven’t been up to Robby’s to get a battery yet. I may just wait until his open house and get it then.
