Intermodal With Mid Train DPU Meets Metra At Elmhurst Illinois

Most of the clip is pretty steady and you see two Union Pacific locomotives pulling east towards Proviso. There is also a Outbound (West) Metra commuter train that is seen with its locomotive leading at high speed. I always have to wonder about these mid-train DPU's.... Is the railroad placing the DPU at a place in the train where it will get broken apart, later, and then the DPU becomes a lead engine? Irving P.
