   I must be thinking of the Pullman built cars or something, as I know I   
   have seen some with equipment under the floor.  If that is where the   
   systems are, then that is all the better.   
      
   Still might need some stuff on the roof for engine radiator space.   
      
   Also, it might need some additional space in the car for control   
   equipment, so you might have to take out one row of seats or so inside.   
      
   However, in general I would think there is enough space on those cars   
   for such a system to be added.
