FM Trainmasters

[NW Mailing List]

  But did anyone ever see a VGN Trainmaster MU'ed with an EMD or Alco?  I know I've read somewhere (the Bowers/Withers book perhaps) that because the TM's had a pneumatic rather than electric MU system they couldn't be MU'ed with locos from other manufacturers.  Since VGN had an all-FM fleet, this may have been of no concern, whereas Wabash had plenty of other brands and may have specified a common MU system.

  A photo appeared in TRAINS magazine of a train west of Decatur with an H24-66, an Alco C424, a GE U25b and an EMD GP35.  

  The FM wasn't in the lead . . .

    "Fairbanks-Morse Locomotives in Color" by Jim Boyd has three pictures of Southern FMs with EMD units, and says the Trainmasters were frequently used between a pair of F-units.
