[quote user="BillyFloyd"]Re: Centipedes-- ISTR a 1970s or 80s TRAINS article in which the long rigid frame was accused of causing derailments. It was also mentioned that there were serious problems with leaking engine oil, to the point that it caused fires, and that the electrical systems were prone to shorts and flashovers. Undoubtedly someone out there will have better info than I, but that's what I heard. [:)] [/quote] The multiple wheels concept itself wasn't flawed.  The Milwaukee's electric Centipedes were by all accounts splendid locomotives, albeit for passenger hauling.  But their lack of multiple unit capability discounted them for freight.
