Nonthermal proton acceleration in galaxy jets produce neutrinos through photomeson production. Sources with intense surrounding fields should be strong neutrino sources. Neutrons and high-energy photons formed through photomeson processes will transport inner jet energy far from the black hole engine to power distant jets, hot spots and lobes, as observed at X-ray energies with Chandra. This effect may account for differences between the FRI and FRII classes of radio galaxies that display distinct morphologies.
