<p>Power run through from another train and/or paying back "run time" from borrowed units or run through from a different train.  This is common practice for modern day railroads.  I recently saw a UP locomotive in Deerfield, MA on the head of a train with Norfolk Southern locomotives behind, pulling a train of autoracks on Pan Am Southern (joint Pan Am Railways/Norfolk Southern venture) (former Boston and Maine tracks). </p> <p>It is easier to leave a set of locomotives on the head end of a multi-line unit train than it is to swap new locomotives each time the train changes railroads.</p>
