I have a question on some of the articulated passenger consists of the 1930's such as UP's <i>M-10001</i>, CB&Q's <i>Zephyrs</i>, IC's <i>Green Diamond</i>, and others. Were any of the articulated sections located on powered trucks? <br /> <br /> I remember Overmod mentioning a while back that the concept of an articulated locomotive (e.g. a B-B-B or C-C-C) would not ideally work since the traction motors are located at the quarter points of the locomotive, and an articulated connection between two powerhouse housings would reduce tractive effort of the articulated truck (?).
