	Train - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the United Kingdom, a train hauled by two locomotives is said to be "double-headed", and in Canada and the United States it is quite common for a long freight train to be headed by three, four, or even five locomotives.
		The first trains were rope-hauled or pulled by horses, but from the early 19th century almost all were powered by steam locomotives.
		Piggy back trains are the fastest growing type of freight trains in the United States, where they are also known as 'trailer on flat car' or TOFC trains.

		These slow trains would crawl along the line in the wee hours of the night as they did their work, eventually winding up at the local creamery or to meet up with a perishable time freight that would carry the fresh milk to a dairy farther away.

	The Advanced Passenger Train
		There were three full trains, each composed of two identical half trains of driving trailer, six (I think) articulated cars and a non-driving electric Bo-Bo power car.
		The two power cars were formed in the middle of the train because, at the time they were designed, pantograph technology wasn't up to having two pans at opposite ends of the train both working at the 150mph envisaged for the train.
		By the time they reached passenger service one half of each train had been reduced to just driving trailer plus power car because it wasn't economical to provide two full sets of staff - there was no access between the two halves except via a cramped, noisy walkway through the guts of the power cars.
