Jeremy [:)] This was hashed about in the trains.mag forum a while back. There are a bunch of real railroaders who post in that forum. It was the general concensus that the railroads wouldn't buy cabless units because there would still be the need for a cab unit to accompany them. Also a cabless unit isn't as feasible with the need for less units these days as opposed to 25 years ago with lower horsepower units. There are some cabless units on the railroads but many of them are rebuilds of wrecked engines. Someone posted a pic about a year ago that showed 4 or 5 BN green units and one of them WAS a cabless unit. They can be found but are far and few between. I hope this answers your question. [:)]
