Multiple Unit Applications
Those of us in the diesel age are most familliar with more than one locomotive operating with MU capability.
Rather than add capacitors to units usually MUed, would linking the units together electrically , temporarily be feasible?
Could wires tiny enough linked in series provide power when supply is interrupted by dirty track, insulated frogs, etc?
Could this principle be used in staight DC too?
