shoot, forgot to answer your question. the CTE part of 'em is for manifest DPU only. you just change a setting in the box. the reason for it is when these AC's are shoving hard at the rear of the train at low speed, they are putting out enough pu***hat they could possibly "kick out" a light car ahead of them, especially in sharper curves, low speed, high throttle. by reducing the effort being put out a low speed/high power, they are trying to reduce the chances of this happening. if they are on the back of a coal train or grain/pota***rain, they operate just like any other AC4400 in DPU. when they are leaders too, they are just like any other. there was an article in trains about them either this past issue or 1 or 2 before it, i think in the power desk part.
