yea of course it was done as soon as a railroad had 2 diffrent builders on the property, they lashed them together
 
I once saw an early 1960's photo (wish I could remember exactly where?) of a GP30 MU'd with an Alco FA+FB set, somewhere on the B&O's Cleveland Lorain & Wheeling subdivision.
 


You just had to make sure that they all had MU connections. For example, Fairbanks Morse did not put MU hoses on the fronts of C-liners so they were either in the front of the consist or facing backwards in the rear.
 
Yes but they would both have engine crews, while two diesels MU'ed could run with one. But I'm sure you knew that already.

What looks like two styles of horns on the FA?

Yes most interesting. It looks like they added a Leslie 3L but did not remove the two original Wabco honkers. I wonder if they are all hooked to air or if the Wabco's are dead and they just never bothered to remove them.
