If it's a unit train running the same cars, you could conceivably run the MU lines the length of the train and operate the caboose as a cab car, just like on commuter trains (which operate with the engine pushing at high speeds).Why would you need MU lines running the length of the train? You simply need a radio control system to operate the locomotives if indeed you had a set up like this. Today's DPU trains and the older Locotrol system operate by radio signals.
