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.
