Is it common to have a power unit on the front and rear of a train (such as in the photos of the GM Class 66 and one of the HST's) in your area? If so, is that normal operating practice, or do grades in your area require the extra power it? Is the second unit manned?
How many cars are in a typical freight train?
The learning runs are interesting - I'm surprised that resources (time and right of way) is set aside for a single unit running light.
That class 222 reminds me of a Peugeot automobile (the look), is it a French design, by chance?
Do you have any additional steam photos?
