Oh, and N&W ran a 500-car loaded coal train from Iaeger, W. Va. to Portsmouth, Ohio. Power was a set of 3 SD45s on the head end and three more controlled by radio 300 cars back. I think the top speed was around 35 MPH; it was an experiment, not to be duplicated because of the terminal problems you would expect. It's also in the literature . . . On a couple of districts, N&W often ran 200-car empty hopper trains behind one 2-6-6-4. The same power handled trains of 190 loads between Williamson, W. Va., and Portsmouth, Ohio. Old Timer
