    Did Amtrak Use a Caboose?

    If you are using the MHC cars (ex. http://walthers.com/exec/productinfo/932-6021 ) they can be placed either at the front of the train or the end.

    Anyone Own A Tower 55 Loco?

    Definately. They haven't even released the ES44AC in BNSF/CP yet, and those are very similar to the ES44DC. If one was to buy a Tower 55 unit, I would suggest to buy one of the ES44ACs because they are the second run and should have all the bugs that the first release had worked out. I've...
