Nice long hog. A lot of those older looking cars are owned by short lines or leasing companies.
Because of the economy, a lot of system boxes are being rounded up and scrapped out. We just had 75 SP types head to Wisconsin for an appointment with the torch.
I counted 134 cars without the locos, and I don't believe I miscounted- don't quote me on it. I could be wrong, because according to my calculations, the number of axles came out to 566. I had to have counted an extra. 133 then.
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.
Nice 122 cars! but What is with UP and BNSF running 2 engines on the rear..That's lazy! Put those suckers mid train like the SP did! AND todays diesels suck! 5 engines total? It was better years ago when SP put 12 to 15 SD40T's on a train!! that's balls out!
You guys are great counters (I was much better counting as a child) My arms were tired holding the camera so long...need to get the tripod out more often!
Those open boxcars were just ripe for jumping in and hitching a ride

Australia ore trains. Search YouTube, and you'll find a video of a 600 car train or something ridiculous like that.

The flat car full of wheels will throw off your axle count ;)
