So if I'm right FI-2 had 5 cars

MAED had 10 cars

FI-1 had 5 cars

and AYMO had 79 cars

If not correct me; nice catches and race Matt

[TNT314159]

Correct on the first three, but AYMO had more like 128 cars. All T/COFC trains in MA tend to have around 10 axles per 4 cars.

Awesome vid! That race at the beginning was absolutely incredible! It also made for a great horn duel between a fouled RS3L and an excellent K5LA.

[TNT314159]

Thanks dude, as much as I like RS3Ls I think the K5LA won here..

[GenesisSanctuary]

@TNT314159 Yeah. I love RS3Ls too, but that one was pretty bad. I think it's rear chime wasn't working properly. It sounded way too quiet when going long hood forward. The K5LA was flawless, though.:)

[TNT314159]

That's what I was thinking, and most of the K5LAs on PAR/PAS are new as they have been replacing old RS3Ls with new K5LAs. That MEC 600 unit is an ex-KCS unit that was recently repainted up in Maine (you can see its still in gray but there's a white spot on the side where they covered up the KCS lettering) and I suspect they gave it a new K5LA while it was in the shop

I guess I don't know how to count axles on intermodal cars.

A'hoy! 313 is the winner but the horn award goes to the Ex-KCS unit! Great train chase by the way Matt turned out good! Looks like some foam action got in your way on the return tripage! NS units looks good out your way! 5/5!
