Thought you might have been exaggerating when you said monster, but I'll give you that one.

191 cars and 19,000 tonnes! I'll bet that keeps the yard guys busy.

Is that a regular consist, or is it something special?

Cheers, BW
Regular consist, the Class 1 railroads over here follow something called PSR (precision scheduled railroading) but rarely does it work as planned.

The line I live next to can get quite steep about a 90 minute drive north (think 1% plus grades). We have no passenger service to worry about or a up or down line, once you get into the steep grades broken knuckles and stalled trains become a problem real quick especially if this happens on single track.
