This video talks about distributed power on American railroads. We even dive into older DPU operations on the Southern Railway on Saluda Grade using Ed Painter's classic videos of the DP Boxcars being used on the Saluda Mountain. These videos have been taken all around the east coast of DPU operations.
In rail transport, distributed power (DP) is a generic term referring to the physical distribution at intermediate points throughout the length of a train in separate motive power groups. Such "groups" may be single units or multiple consists, and are remotely controlled from the leading locomotive. The practice allows locomotives to be placed anywhere within the length of a train when standard multiple-unit operation is impossible or impractical. DP can be achieved by wireless or wired means. Wired systems now provided by various suppliers use the cabling already extant throughout a train equipped with electronically controlled pneumatic brakes.
