There are few U turns- you usually have to shorten the train -some re-assembly required- I came to regard the whole concept as a way to save the company money on wages...If two drivers can pull 6 wagons it saves the $alary on a third driver. The welfare and safety of the driver was a secondary concept to management. Doubles is sufficient.Greed is a motivating factor in the freight biz... My back came to hate pushing 1500 lb. con-gears around when makin' the train.. If the middle pup gets to rockin' you've got problems...@ Stealhead: not worth tryin'!
