I've noticed that too, I think you have the point about MU. Electrics have so much more HP available per unit that rarely is MU needed. Over here they are almost always on passenger and in Europe the frieghts are short enough. Quick turn arounds are also more likely on passenger.Diesel frieghts here on the other hand used to always be 2-5 units and are still 1-3, a trailing unit oriented for the return trip is easy. And from after the SD40 they have needed the whole chasssis to mount the huge radiators and now the huge electrical compartment, there is no room left for a second cab. Bill |
