I was talking to the asst sup of the Cabot Shops who was quite intrested to run a fan trip with the 01400. However the operations dept didnt want to do it because they are not equipped with ATO (Automatic Train Control or ATp Automatic Train Protection). I said that there would be no big deal running the trip on a Sunday and running manual blocks.Oh well I tried. My friend stepped down from his job as asst supt and went back to repairing cars again.Not sure, but are the 01500/01600's equipped w ATO/ATP. If so couldn't you put a 3rd car w the 2 01400's to make it so it could work
