I had the opportunity to ride the Grand Canyon Railway this past week. What I did not expect to see was that they had an MU connection between their steam locomotive and their ex-Amtrak F-40-PH, GCR 239. I asked one of the GCR trainmen about that, and he indicated that the steam locomotive was equipped with a second control stand (or set of controls) that was directly wired in to the MU lines. <br /> <br />Anyone familiar with any other similar MU arrangements? This seems quite odd to me as I had never heard of a steam locomotive being MU'ed to a diesel before.
