tryb trakcji podwójnej z jedną lokomotywą na początku a drugą w tyle pociągu Explanation: When a train formation includes two locomotives double-heading the service, they are commonly distinguished by the terms pilot engine for the leading locomotive, and train engine for the second locomotive. This should not be confused with the totally different procedure of adding a banking engine to the rear of a train to assist up a hill or away from a heavy start. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_heading |
