It's in the Guiness Book, I think it was on N&W back in the 70's: about 300 cars of coal, 4 locos up front and 2 sets of 2 locos 1/3 and 2/3 in train....Get the women and chidren off the street.. <br /> <br />Basically, CSX limits it's train to 8500 to 9000 feet, with engines, tonnage is usually not critical. My own experience: 1975 Waycross Ga. to High Springs Fl, train 307, 205 cars, 4 locos, dark territory at night, and a cushioned cab....what a ride.
