I agree with jay jay and others about "pushing" the unpowered A/B units. Somewhere in this old man's brain, he remembers some discussions about this ( not sure if on the old aol live train chats or more recent forums)-and there was some evidence of better pulling when AAs, ABs, ABAs, etc. were run this way. I'll look again to see if I can find the particulars. Enjoy, P Hering. PS Living in the western suburbs of Chicago, I "see" 8-10 commuter cars being so pushed by one or two powered units all the time !!
