@Twurk when it might be "cool" to see. The rr is only running trains like that for one reason. To use less crews. Longer trains mean less trains and fewer crew. There is always a reason behind all that they do.
That was nice. I have read that once UP makes the sunset route double track, that we will see more n more of the super long intermodal trains. I can't wait!!!!
Close to 15.5 thousand tons, cool train but I'm guessing UP had all the DPU's because of the length. UP's unit coal trains are probably about the same weight with 120 full hoppers powered with 3 engines. How much would a fully loaded coal train of this length weigh?
@tmartin27069 I apologize. I made a significant typo on my last reply. Train weight, even with loaded cars of the same commodity, can vary depending on how heavily individual cars can be loaded.
However, to "Roughly" estimate a unit train weight of 120 cars, take the number of cars (120) and multiply by 130. That will give you the approximate weight of the train. Again, this is approximate.
If u look at the # on this train it's the same train in 3 other videos I've seen with the title "longest/long train". So maybe there are'nt as many "long trains" out there as it appears to be on You Tube. I enjoy viewing them though:)
i can literaly think bout my entire life story while this train is passing either i live a sad life or that train is that damn long

This train has 9 engines pulling and pushing. It matches a Maersk train that was 3.4 miles long as well!

what speed did this train run up to ?
112 km/h (70 m/h) ?
Is there any reason why the train was a hand full of containers shy of been a full double stack train ?
