[quote user="nbrodar"] <p>B units died because they lack the flexiblity of A units. A B unit will always need an A unit to lead. If your basic consist is two units, like ours is, what's the point of B units. I have a hard enough time putting together working consists, without worrying about A vs B units.</p><p>Also note that under most union contracts, a B unit is not a locomotive - there are no seats, toliet, cooler, or sink. Being forced to run from a B unit is a time claim, 8 hours in our case.</p><p>Nick</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>They may come back but be known as robots without humans driving the train.</p>
