Living in saskatchewan i saw a double 2-140 length trains butted together 1 engine back 2 middle and 1 front. Longest i ever saw, but always see lots of helpers mid and back as needed. Gotta love living next to the CP main line!!
-
nice catch. ive only seen one train with mid-helpers personally once in my life. probably cuz i live in central pa lol
-
2.3 miles (12-12400 feet) are the really long ones. 8000-10000 feet are normal lengths.
-
How long are the trains where you are from?
-
That train is short.
-
Man, one long train, I love the look of those hopper cars.
-
ah yes good ol Banff one of my favorite places to photograph CP trains aside from Lake Louise I have done it in all differnt seasons great place ..I agree with you those whineing dynamic breaks are nice too I allways love shooting the Laggan sub I will be there in July Rockey Mountineer to Calgary for the Stampede

I see why Canadian Pacific need mid train helpers to help trains of any type up the.41% grade without stalling up on the hill right?
