Perhaps a dumb question, but:
When a locomotive is on the rear of a passenger train in push-pull mode, does a person have to be inside? I see Metro-North trains in push-pull mode with the locomotive at the rear, but they go by too fast for me to tell if someone is inside.
Similarly, if a passenger or freight train has multiple locomotives, does each have to have someone inside?
I assume that in both cases, a person doesn't have to be inside the locomotive for it to work, and multi-locomotive trains don't have people inside all of the locomotives. But maybe there is a policy of having a person inside the locomotive when a train is running with the locomotive at the rear, in push-pull mode?
Thanks.
