I know Chiacgo Division at Cicero/Clyde used a lot of multiple switchers on transfer jobs in 70's..

Out here in the Denver area it was common for both the Q and the C&S to double-head diesel switchers on transfer drags, so yes, you could see paired switchers at work, though they were not MUed.  After the cow/calf sets were split up in the mid-1950s and the calves equipped with cabs, the 9400s were mostly used singly like any other switchers, and it was only in the Twin Cities area where they regularly were MUed in two- three- and occasionally four-unit sets on transfer drags.  But when they performed regular yard switching duties they worked singly. Hope this helps.

So for normal switching practice they were not MU'd unless they were cow/calf sets up until the mid 60's. That is what I was trying to get at in my original question. I saw the topic on MU'ing them with road diesels but I was trying to learn about the practical operations of these units and if they were coupled together to perform switching duties. Sorry for the confusion.
