Prototype information
American trains are impressive mostly because of their stately length. In order to move such long trains, several locomotives are often coupled together to increase the power (the F7 diesel locomotive's A and B units each produce about 1,500 hp). These units are coupled up with additional B units as required, thus resulting in immense pulling power for the train. All of the locomotives in such a combination are controlled centrally from the lead locomotive.
