Snippets I removed from Multiple unit in an effort to condense all discussion of MU Train Control here:
More commonly used in North America, the term can also refer to multiple locomotive operation. The driver's cab on a MU is usually truncated to a short room at each end of the train. Before his successful invention, differences in the speed and response of motors on different cars of the train caused binding on the couplings between the train cars, wheel slippage and excess wear on motors due to operating gear running at speeds faster or slower than the overall speed of the train, or even derailment, as well as an uncomfortable ride.

[edit] Multiple working
Multiple working also exists - Multiple-unit train control deals with the technology, that page deals with the British system more specific. Any thoughts Wongm (talk) 00:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
