Both NKP 765 & PM 1225 were pulling 30 car freight trains when they were enroute to Huntington, WV for the NRHS 1991 Convention. 1225 was given one of the freights out of Rougemere Yd (Dearborn, MI) freights to Cincinnati, OH, before meeting up 765 in Lima, OH. From Cincinnati, OH to Huntington, WV they were pulling a slightly different consist, but it had same amount of cars.
Now only imagine the size freight train those two BEAUTIFUL MACHINES could handle on any grade!!! That would be something to see in this plain world.

Nope, they are former Canadian National Railway, still in a VIA Rail mod. They use to look like those 2 coaches seen @ 0:53-059 and @ 1:20-1:21
