I used to see some of the old Geneva Steel (Utah) coal trains with two locomotives up front, two more somewhere in the middle, and two on the end, and they were usually all AC44CWs in Southern Pacific paint. Was this a case of the railroad experimenting with positioning the locomotives to get the best train handling characteristics? Later, I saw the same trains, only with three locomotives on the head end, and either a single locomotive, or a pair on the rear. <br />One more question- what determines placing one or two distributed power locomotives on the rear of the train?
