I'll second what Mark pointed out, with distributed power you are only limited by siding length. We came accross this when we were trying to figure out ways to make RoadRailer and RailRunner trains more profitable. Although both are limited to about 125 units behind the lead locomotive, with DPU we could increase the number of revenue units to the siding length of the target railroad of 9,000' to 162 units, about a 25% increase in revenue loads. That 25% can make the difference between loss and profit for a potential client.
