When multi locos are selected for a run, how & who chooses the lead? <br />I can't help but think when I see multi units going by, with the oldest and smallest (say an SD40) leading a Dash 9 or an SD 75I, something with a wide cab, that the crew must be cursing someone because they are in the unit they are in vs. the bigger / better riding cabs that they could be in. <br /> <br />So who ,makes up the combination and is there no effort or concern to give the crew the best ride possible? <br /> <br />I welcome comments from those who are crew. What goes through your mind on this matter and have you tried to address this?
