I always wondered what the extra locomotives are for on modern freight trains, are they for extra power?
In: Engineering
While I’m not a train expert by any means, I can imagine redundancy would be a valid reason as well. If one of the locomotives breaks down, the train is at least still able to keep moving as opposed to getting stuck. After all, it’s not like a train can just go around another train that’s stuck on the rails.
