Hi [:)]

Just a short question. After looking at a picture on Rail pic. of a train wrapped around Tehachapi I was wondering are any of the units crewed other than the lead unit?

Thanks

Before newer locomotives came along, helper sets had to have a crew. With distributed power all units are controlled by computer from the lead unit.

Short answer, with DP, no.
