Everyone: A shortage of cab cars as noted is the reason that the "All Day" push-pull train has been
MIA lately. At least we have an idea what the problem is.
With the surplus motors has RRD thought of using two ACS64s (on each end) on one push-pull set
to free up at least one cab car? Could this be an additional test to see if running two motors on one
train at least would work? I remember when NJT used two ALP46 motors in this manner on some
long (10-11 multilevels) trains back when they were new. Will power draw on the RDG side be a
problem meaning that a train run in this manner would have to be run to/from Suburban Station?
