Remarks & Notes |
The morning of April 29, 1970 was foggy in Potomac Yard. From the bridge that crossed the middle of the yard I found 2 new Southern SD45s mid-train with a radio car (a boxcar red boxy car) with antennae on its roof. Instead of making many diesels capable of receiving DPU instructions, Southern created a much smaller number of radio signal receiver cars that then talked to the DPUs through a MU cable. |
