You don't "Lash together" steam, only diesels.
OK… so how about couple two or three together and the engineers try to keep

Double or triple headed. Where do you think the term "Double header/headed"
came from? Not from baseball but from steam locomotive operation. Dates
back to the earliest days of steam railways in the UK.
These diesel era fans, I tell ya. :-)
