I wonder why they used a heavy locomotive as a shell for radio equipment and nothing else? You would think a old MOW caboose/transfer or box car would have filled the bill just as nice!
Cuz cabooses/boxcars aren't already wired for MU.
Some rr's have used old non-loco equipment, like WC used an old CP van, CP used old boxcars and Bunits for radio robots and the NS use old flat cars...just some examples, there are many more.
