I'm A conductor on the BNSF out of Los Angeles. Our average intermodal train is 3,000 to 6,000 feet and weigh between 4,000 to 7,000 tons. The longest I have ever run was 8,600 feet. I have been on some coal trains out in Gallup N.M that weighed 15,00tons with 100 cars. On BNSF on the Cajon sub any trains over 6,000 tons need helpers or distributed power.
