YES!

  A few years back, a city-bound Hitachi kicked the bucket at Laburnum
(steep up-hill for those who don't know the area). About half an hour
later, the following Comeng was linked up to it to push it down to 
Box Hill - but not before burning out several motors!  It was rather
spectacular to see a 12-car suburban train at FSS plat 1!!!!
