UPRU 948005 - Union Pacific "Arrowedge" |
| Description: |
While up in the crosswalk at the former ATSF station in Fort Madison, I spotted a strange airplane like object on top of the first container in the UP train. It was my first sighting of an "Arrowedge" device. |

UPRU 948005 - Union Pacific "Arrowedge" |
| Description: |
Developed by Union Pacific emplyees, this object was designed as an environmental friendly aerodynamic device. Positioned on top of the first freight container, the 48-foot Arrowedge® has a tapered body that allows air to more easily flow around the train's top frontmost containers. This reduces aerodynamic drag for more efficient transport of customers' goods. In addition, drag reductions decrease the amount of locomotive power required to propel the train. |
