TWJ Preview - The Vehicle Train

WB Vehicle Train at Helena West, rear DPU.

In the absence of a passenger train, or a hot intermodal schedule, the daily vehicle train shown above at Helena West, is the closest thing on the MRL to a premier train. The train operates in a 2+2 DPU configuration, and does not require a helper over Mullan. This train carries loads in both directions. This train seldom waits for a crew at Helena.
