The Santa Fe generally painted a single number on the sides of their booster units. An A+B+B+A consist of units required only a single crew, not only F units...but also E's, ALCo PA's i.e. any set of 'covered wagons' for that matter. -Harvey (22 years ago, 23-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I presume an A-B-B-A arrangement would have two different numbers for each A-B pairing though? So, by the union rule, there'd be two crews. Would controls of the second be slaved to the first? Jason J Railton (22 years ago, 23-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)
