You can run your CP/CN passenger cars in the same consist as the railroads used to run. Here in Ottawa the local Ottawa / Brockville ran daily every morning arriving at Ottawa West station, yard & roundhouse at about 10:15 AM as I remember. After leaving Ottawa Union the engine would be changed out. The regular engine to Brockville would be # 1265 CP Light Pacific added to the train for the trip to Brockville and return later the same day. The Brockville local would come over from Ottawa Union with the Locomotive off the early morning Prescot to Ottawa local also a 1200 series Light Pacific. CP & CN called these mixed trains "POOL" trains. I lived one block east of Parkdale Ave about a half mile west of Bayview & Scott where the CPR station Ottawa West, yard and roundhouse were located. I could hop on my bike ride east to the station and watch the engine change out during the summer when school was out.
