Consist made of RS-1
Posted by faraway on Thursday, December 20, 2007 4:13 AM

I have three NYC RS-1 and wonder if I can run two of them in a consist.

All pictures of NYC RS-1 I can find show only one hose for the main airbrake. There are no mose hoses at the sides of the couplers. e.g. http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/nyc/nyc9910bfs.jpg

My interpretation of that pictures is that the RS-1 had not the euipment to be part of a centrally controled consist.

Is that right?

There is an MU cable socket and some sort of air valve directly over the coupler about 2 ft above the end platform.  It looks like that engine could be MU'd or at least coupled in consist.
