    B trains are useful in many applications. I've run flats, chip vans, tankers. Probably the most versatile trailer configuration. Easy to load, back up and very stable throught the corners. As opposed to 40/20 sets (A train) which are not stable or easy to back up. Triples are the most unstable of all combinations.
