A quick question on the IC3/Flexliner - is it powerful enough to pull and upowered coach, or would that be taxing it too much? I am not talking about a whole string of them, just one car.

The Flexliners were severly under powered during the Amtrak testing, they barely made hills with AC running.
I seriously doubt they could pull a trailer.
