I don't know if the SC44 units are compatible with the NPCU's Amtrak used to use on the Wolverine trains in the past, which was common when Amtrak had "power" on both ends. Yes, they are compatible.

https://youtu.be/iSwFhrIMOvU?si=es2Iis7iYQmdS5h3 One of the many trains we saw while waiting for the eclipse just happened to pass as totality was beginning.
