MTW and [diesel] locomotive cable are essentially the same -- fine stranded, although I don't think MTW comes in the larger sizes (1/0 and up).

Well , , , regardless of how we think about it, Canada is a foreign country. Other than driving on the same side of the road (unique in the Commonwealth) and speaking the same language, they do like to be independent of us Yanks.

>One system ties all four runs together as a common buss(?).

Yes single bus (from one end of the car to the other). The other is dual bus, which to me seems a bit of complication.
