Spoke with a Mr Sallem today about Passenger Trains and freight who is the Amtrak Operating head for New England. He mentioned that Amtrak did do a cursery look at tacking Passenger Cars on the back of intermodal trains about 7 years ago. There are a number of corridors were this could work Such as NJ-Albany-Buffalo-Chicago . This could minimise freight-passenger conflicts. Now before you say "WHAT ABOUT THE SLACK ACTION" I can assure you that Slack Action is minimal on Stack Trains and Piggybacks from Personal Experance Riding such trains. I would place Passenger cars Up Front on Pig trains and on the rear of Stacks. Also remember that there was a TRAINS artical were trains writers rode on a buisness car tacked on the back of a BNSF freight train. Buisness Cars have been tacked on the back of freight trains for years for railroad managements buddys.
