Even though I no longer work fo the NS, they describe a Train as "an engine
or more then one engine coupled with or without cars, displaying a marker."
It also says see Rule 19 which basically says on single or multiple engine
consists, the rear engine headlight on low acts as a marker.
It's probably the same on most railroads I would think. Then again, perhaps
the definition of a train has changed since the Super Chief's days.
