<p>Hi Feltonhill, have many thanx for your reply!</p><p>Do you have this video, too?</p><p>It was true. </p><p>To get more confused, the whole consist ran up Archer on the west-side, a 0,7% grade and topped the hill with 30mph!</p><p>How it did that? Probably it came down a similar grade and accelerated to overcome this grade.</p><p>BTW, the train was 8900ft long and contained 143 cars. I will send you the exact weight, when I arrive home, but it was more than 7500t!</p><p>I have no doubt, that this was possible. Basically, the Cheyenne-Nebraska-run was downhill, but still a show...</p><p>Kind regards</p><p>Lars</p><p> </p><br /><br />----- edit -----<br /><br />It was exactly 7657tons
