Sayeth tpatrick: <br /> <br />Trains of 18 thousand tons, while large, are pretty common. Norfolk and Western used to run such trains eastbound out of Columbus OH, pulled by a single 2-6-6-4. <br /> <br />You're just a little off the mark, t. <br /> <br />Norfolk and Western used to run 16,000-ton trains westbound out of Williamson, W. Va., pulled by a single 2-6-6-4. <br /> <br />Eastbound out of Columbus, Ohio, the movement was empty hoppers back to the mines. Some of those 2-6-6-4-hauled trains amounted to more than 200 cars. <br /> <br />Old Timer
