I was going to say that the only thing missing from this train is the other drivers. These monster trains are fascinating me, just how long does it take to assemble such a long series of trains. By the time the last train is asembled the first one could be half way there surely. We get a lot of delays sending containers across USA and if part of the delays is the time that it takes the railroad operators to assemble trains when in reality every user thinks the transit is 5 days without allowing a week to build the bloody things in the first place!!
