Hey, I was just curious about the use of push-pull trains nowdays. I dont know about everyone else but to me a train thats effectively running backwards with the locomotive pushing the cars just seems unnatural. I always think that it is unsafe although i have no technical basis for it other than backing a train at speed on a model layout always ends in disaster. Anyway, what is the fascination with push-pull in the US with diesel trains? Why dont they use a bunch of of DMU's like they used to? or a combination of powered and unpowered cars? Just curious to see why they like running trains backwards [;)]
