[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Modelcar ...The suggestion of using DPU with a RR train would make me wonder if that proceedure would be permitted....Having the "light" rail cars {tailers}, making up the consist....I simply don't know if that's done....and yes as I've mentioned above, the RR train through here does us 2 engines when it has a long consist of cars...{trailers}.... [/quote] I also question whether the FRA would have to study the concept of distributed power at the end of the RR consist, with or without added loose car tonnage behind the DPU. I can't see any problem, but the people who study such dynamics might find a possible situation where problems might arise. On those RR consists with the two units you've witnessed, can you discern if the train is maxed out in length, or if more could be added behind the RR's?
