Hi Jimmy :

Yes, you did run slave units, mainly on coal trains, north to Hagerstown
years ago - I do remember those days.

" Are you all referring to DPU's as remote control or controlled by a
crew in the locomotive.
The old WV law on the H-town District did not permit remote control units
in their state.

Terry,
I can gaurantee you that we ran radio trains (units mid train) up the
Valley from the late eighties until their demise.
