Yes Wayne, The three UP built diesel plows have MU cables and control stands in the cab of the plow. The operator of the plow can control the trailing units from the head end.

Darned good thing, too, because the UP Plows had no truck mounted traction motors, they depended on the pushers for power. The UP diesel plows used their engines for removing snow.

Having no external traction motors also helped prevent ground relay failures to the plow itself.
