Hi Rob,

From what I understand, you won't see any action at all with the strike on, but HarperGov™ is working to end that soon!

They are likely a remote unit, with the possibility of crew in the first unit. The others are "slaved" to it, and may not have any controls or anything. They may no prime movers either, getting their power from the lead unit. IIRC, they should have flashing orange lights on the roof to indicate they are a remote unit, and you should see a guy on the ground with a big remote strapped on at his waist.

Thanks Andrew -- all of this makes sense. Yes, the first unit, the switcher, always has flashing lights on it, so that gives it away.

I do hope the strike is resolved soon as it will have a negative effect on our economy.
