>>1314219>No power couplers on frieght motors to provide electricity to passenger cars.On the Irish rail network, loco hauled trains use a separate generator car which has a diesel generator which provides power to the passenger cars. Some locomotives were fitted with the ability to provide power, but due to reliability issues, those were discontinued.
On the Dublin-Cork service, for example, the generator car doubles up as a Driving Van Trailer which permits push-pull operations.
