If the computer is running the train - the computer can run in throttle 8 , but if the engineer is running the train he is only allowed to go to throttle 6.
Presumably the computer is smart enough to run the locos at their most fuel efficient throttle setting for the prevailing conditions.

Two great shots - thanks for posting. I wonder how many of those intermodals will end up in the yard in Mechanicville, NY - about 30 mi south of here and a favorite spot to go to watch the trains.
The second shot is spectacular and worthy of a spot in the Trains magazine photo gallery at the back of every issue.

I'm still learning the use of my Christmas present to myself, a Canon R. I took the opportunity to head east from Denver to look for some trains...
I drove thru Bush CO some fifty years ago. At the time, the area was center of Sugar Beet production, and railroad sidings had lots of them; is that still true?

Not as much as previously but there is still beet production these days.
