Good info Mats. But from what I am reading, it wouldn't be too hard to install a remote switch to turn off that breaker in the 4th car, would it?

Hi Ken, sounds easy but there are 3 dif families of SD160s in use and there's a couple dif kinds of U2 trains in service. The problem is that you never know what kind of car will be put on which piece of work. All the SD's are all on AC power and all but 2 of the U2's are running on DC. THe overhead power is 600 V DC. There are 2 cars (# 2101 and #2102) which are AC. Those 2 cars are the only U2's ones that get mixed with SD's but the thing is eventhough they are AC, everything else inside is the same as other U2's.
