Then all of a sudden maintenence of bazillion of cabs becomes an expense :D You can run short hood, long hood, 3 b-units in front and 140 cars in front and still have a perfect (night) vision ahead. Actually - you can sit comfortably at the dispatch center and drive a train 300 miles from you :p <br /> <br />And imagine all railheads before their monitors watching that stuff on the internet :D
