Steve,

Any idea what the purpose of the gondolas were? I don't know much about the mechanical side of railroading, but I assume they were attached with a particular pupose in mind.

Probably the engines were to heavy, or there was a clearance issue, on he tracks where the cars were delivered.

I think in case of derailment they didn't want the cars hitting the locomotives.

most likely to provide braking power, not all MU cars have brakes when hauled by Locomotives.
