RE: Superliners in push-pull (well, almost)....the Heartland Flyer FTW-OKC runs push-pull almost every day. Uses a GE for power and an "F40 baggage car" for the cab on the other end. They wired the consist with MU cables and dedicated the cars. Have seen it a couple of times bidirectional. <br /> <br />By the way, bidirectional diesel was a winning concept ATK had to be dragged into kicking and screaming, as usual. 1st on the San Diegans where they tried to short the consists of overfilled trains claiming inadequate power, until a couple of PailRac/URPA guys (now both deceased) in SoCal convinced them that they could just as easily put a locomotive on the other end as put a cab car there.
