The difference is Amtrak's dual-mode 3rd rail trains are not push-pull. They do not want the front vehicle in a train to not be equipped with 3rd rail shoes so the engineers does not stop over a gap.They are down to 21 DM locos now. One burned to a crisp and stripped to the frame, the other converted to a DE after it burned up as well. |
