I believe the FRA frowns on power-bus connections between MU's if they aren't permanently coupled.
And JB is right, the South Bend ridership lately is unreal. I arrived tonight at 7:20, and there was probably 100 people waiting to board the westbound. I've never seen off-peak South Bend loads like this before 1-2 years ago. I think the gas price spike we had over the last few years made people change their mind about train travel from SB. Hopefully some day the street running in MC and the quasi-street running in SB can be avoided or mitigated, as those legs of the trip really add the minutes.
