Visitor Comments about this Photo:

Interesting top container here. I suspect UP has modified it to reduce the drag caused by having a rectangular container projecting above the units at the front of double-stack trains. Has anyone else seen something like this? Does anyone know if this is an experiment or an adopted means to cut fuel consumption?
