Ken Roble	General	That is awsome! I was lucky enough to shoot a radio receiver car at Inman in the 90s before they dome away with them	10/2/2010 2:24:46 PM

Bryan Smith	General	The working folks called them "slave units". The more politically correct white hats called them radio units and were prone to correct you if you called them something else.	10/3/2010 5:55:19 PM

This is what DPU on the Southern Railway looked like 30 years ago. A major benefit of the radio-receiver car was the fact it could be mated to any make or model power and didn't required dedicated DPU locomotives
