HEP didn't come along until 1970 or so with the U34CH engines and Comet
coaches.  Electrical power on trains was largely provided by generators
driven by the axles, charging banks of batteries under the cars.  Each car
had its own power system.

MU was just that - multiple unit control of the engine.
