[quote user="nbrodar"] [quote user="Murphy Siding"]     A roadrailer car can't ride along in a train with other freight cars?[/quote]Equipment Handling Rules generally state that TOWs (Trailer on Wheels, the generic term for RoadRailer type equipement) must either move in dedicated trains, or on the rear conventional trains.  You cannot place conventional equipement behind or shove against TOWs.Nick[/quote]Nick,Is there an exemption to current rules that would allow TOW's to be on the front of a conventional train if separated by a DPU?  Or is that classified as "shoving" even though there is a pulling unit in front?If rules don't even allow for use of DPU's in dedicated TOW's, that takes away much of the flexibility advantage, e.g. two or three separate bi-modal consists being formed into one solid consist without engine change.
