As the F40PH fleet aged, Amtrak gave many a new lease on life as cab controlunits for push-pull service trains. Officially known as “NPCU” or Non-PoweredCab Units, the combination cab+baggage compartments quickly gave thema more popular nickname, the “Cabbage.” Whatever you call them, theseunits provide a safe operating platform for train crews when the locomotive ispushing on the other end of the train as well as additional baggage storagefor passengers.Lionel’s NPCU’s are a perfect pair to your powered F40PH. Like the prototype,these aren’t powered, but have all of the other bells and whistles you wantin a Legacy locomotive. When used in conjunction at either end of the train,you’ll get realistic sound and lighting functions in either direction. So get yourorders in and put some Cabbage on your layout!
