Interesting question. I also recall there were state laws in some jurisdictions regulating mixed train equipment--and it seems to me some states required passenger cars to be carried ahead of freight cars, rather than behind. <br /> <br />From a safety standpoint, it definitely was preferable to handle the passenger cars ahead of the freight cars, due to the slack run-in and run-out which will be generated by only a handful of freight cars. <br /> <br />Current state statutes and administrative regulations are unlikely to address the issue. These laws are revised and updated periodically, and the mixed train equipment issue appears to be just a matter of historical interest.
