[BNSF757]

we get CSXT grain trains here (I'll have to find one) with well over 120 cars (I got an empty one on video the G85520) but we don't use DPUs here. Don't know why though.

Raton, though, is a pretty ugly beast compared to Tehachapi. I'm pretty sure that they had to double over Z trains when they would re-route.
