The "5 mile long train" claim is made on several videos and UP "Corporate propaganda films" which featured the "Big Boy". Apparently it was based on tractive effort calculations etc. and probably was never actually tried. But, how would you like to be the poor guy that had to wait for THAT baby at a grade crossing?
