Over the last several months I've noticed the train configurations are consistently different than I've seen in the past here on the UP in Fresno, CA.
I now see locomotives on the head-end of the train, but virtually every train has locomotives also in the rear 4/5ths of the train or on the very tail end (where the caboose used to be).
Is this practice UP-wide? What is the purpose for the change?
