If you see two motorized electric cars together, they're in MU.Yeah, that'd stand to reason. I was more wondering how the MU controls were conveyed from car to car. I'd never really looked at the couplers to realize there was no electrical portion. It is odd, but as you note, there's no apparent socket or jumper. Based on this video I don't see anything above the anticlimber, and I think the MU jumper might be what we're calling the main reservoir connection. -I don't think enroute adds and cuts were common, it's at route endpoints where train composition would be changed. According to this video they did enroute add/cuts at Highwood: The relevant portion is here: 6 minutes in. -rapid transit/subway couplers were likely viewed as expensive. Pacific Electric was one of the few I found in Middleton's "The Interurban Era". I thought the South Shore used MCB couplers with electric portions outside the knuckle. |
