That would seem the way it should work nowadays,,,,,,But I still miss my Cabooses and always will......:'(
I never liked not seeing if my behind was OK or not......Ive Driven with some long Trailers........Sight distance is very important, but sure can't imagine how rough it can be with 1-2 mile train so far away from your view, you hope all the Wheels are still on the Track, all the Brake Hoses are working OK, and no hot spots on your Journal Boxes........
Let alone a Fracture brake in the Rails, or Sun Kink issue derailing your train Etc.
But I do understand Change is necessary, doesn't mean I have to like or agree with it........
