As near as I can tell, this long train was mostly empties and had 562 axles. I may have miscounted a car (130), so correct me if I am wrong. This is the longest train I can remember on The Hill. (At least that I can see!) I laughed at some of the ridiculously old cars in the consist, and wondered if this was the scrap yard train. Count the axles (and remember that baretable has more) and post your results!

gotta do more with less now, i suppose. keeps the fuel costs down. and to the person who asked why we build the stuff so big, europe and africa and most places, don't have 2 mountain ranges to cross, and ya'll don't run 2- 2 1/2 mile long trains either, i've been to europe, them trains where shorter than hell.

134 cars I believe and regarding the 12-15 SD40-2s, that sort of thing just isn't economically viable these days. Modern railroading is all about Unit reductionm fuel reduction and of course emissions reduction. Come on chap, keep up.

Amazing!!
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
