This is something I'm been brooding about for a bit,Roadswitchers,switchers and the Hybrid type locos that exist as
supporting players in passenger and commuter service.
May it be on Work trains,relief service(towing in a disabled train),basic switching in the yards/terminals, or
moving equipment between yards as needed.
Consider the P-32 BWH and NJT's GP-40P's as "front line" passenger/commuter power.
Amtrak's GP-38-H3's(ex GOT GP40-TC's),the NJT GP-40P's that were reconfigured after the HEP genset was removed back
to roadswitchers,LIRR MP-15's,MN's GP35R's,Amtraks's various MP and SW type switchers and Septa's collection of Hybrids.
MN's Brookville switchers that wander around in GCT fit as support players,Am on the fence on MN's and ConnDOT's
Brookville BL20's for now.
