The dual mode trains require a dual-mode locomotive at each end of the train due to third rail gaps.

Not So!

AMTK has no trouble, because it's engine is always in the front.

Guess What?!
The Jackshafts never had any trouble either. But those were never run Push-Pull... The lead the train into NYP, went around their train, and then lead it back out again. That's another FU with the new engines: They *could* have been double ended, and they could have despensed with the cab cars altogether.
