Steve Young General Why would a yard slug need MU connections? doesn't RCL stand for Remote Controil Locomotive? 10/28/2018 4:23:20 AM
Alan Grey General Great Catch! These are non powered remote control platforms-no traction motors-they just tell the other locomotives in the consist what to do. They never caught on and most ended up in storage. 6/22/2020 7:29:45 PM
Alan Grey General Union Pacific did the same thing with their old GE B-23/B-30/B-36 units in early 2000's and BNSF started to copy the idea but only did a few of some different models. 6/22/2020 7:33:55 PM
