couple questions

first off, was there any conrail dash 9's ever made or reskinned for trainz?
secondly why when i see a consist with all taker cars do they have a box car/bethgon between the locos and the tank consist?
thanks

Conrail Dash 9s i havent seen ever to be honest in Trainz, nor did they exist. Conrail only had Dash 8-40CW's.

As far as the consist with tankers your seeing that is more than likely an Ethanol train. Trains are required to have a spacer car at the head end between the locomotives and the first car.

thanks, i was just wondering if any fictional dash 9's have ever been made, yeah they always have spacer cars on the front and the back, i was just curious
