Now just get rid of the "flap" at the top of the rear of the locomotive and we have a perfect train.

The "flap thing" is for when these units run with high level equipment. You know, to keep the exhaust out of the cars...

We will find out I'm sure they will work fine though.

I look forward to riding these cars and it will certainly be after the pandemic is all behind us.

I'm guessing they're already heavily tested for ice & snow.

And here I thought it was a spoiler to give some downforce. Every bit of tractive effort helps, you know.
