well this was the highest continious rail line in the USA, almost 2 miles up, that's a big hill.

13 units on a single train? Wow.

[hoolg]

Yell me about it!

4 axle units as mid train helpers? Thats awesome. I thought the Chessie System does that only.

lol the vhs is so blurry it looks like the helpers are riding on an asphalt road instead of track and roadbed

Good eye! All Gp-30/35/ and mostly 40's. Fast 40's the Grande call 'em, used 'em on the T.O.F.C's. Pretty much on helper service too.

Notice, no 6-axles on a coal train in the mountains.
