Enfin, les locomotives louées ne pouvaient généralement pas être placées à la tête du train, ce qui diminuait la latitude en matière de gestion du parc de traction. Selon le CP, les locomotives en question sont ni plus ni moins des remorques et l'industrie ferroviaire les considère comme des «limaces». Elles sont les plus souvent les deuxième, troisième et quatrième locomotives d'un train. 2, record 2, French, - wagon%2Dremorque
