Further to the answers above, and note here I'm speaking only of Canadian Pacific. There is usually an air dryer mounted beside or above the main air reservoirs on GP -9 units. Most systems are designed for 2 operators but can be programmed for 1 op under certain conditions. The working distance between controllers and the loco is usually 1 mile but this can be doubled if a radio repeater tower is used at the terminal. <br />Of course working distance can be affected by outside structures/interference etc.. <br />In my experience, they are generally used in yard and industrial service, as well as transfer service over short distances on the main track between yards/terminals. The units CP has can be used in conventional mode ( engineer controlled) or remote mode. The strobe lights mentioned would operate when the unit was placed in remote mode. <br /> <br />Ross.
