Being from Maine, I don't recognize those short black cars behind the engines. What are they, and what to they haul?
Up here, rail joints are the norm, and welded rail is less used. To me, it sounds strange to hear the sound of welded rail. I am sure it will become more popular with time up here.
Vintage style. They're connected in short intervals with use of bolts and plates instead of welding. If you look at historical steam rail pictures, rails will have these kind of designs, it's only bumpy because time has taken it's toll on the out-dated design.

Man, I am amazed that BNSF still uses jointed rail on this line. You don't see that much anymore.....especially for a high speed line.

They all dont. Some do. If their regular horn messes up, they're replaced with whatever horn is availible.
