Glad to see Zardox and Tough198 also know that old Georgia line song! Seriously though, both CSX and NS like to run long coal trains in southern WV. 150 to 180 cars is not uncommon. It was pretty cool the first time I heard a detected go off announcing "total axle count: 6-1-2" Many years ago, the N&W regularly ran coal trains over 200 cars, and once tried to run a 500 car coal train from Williamson, WV to Portsmouth, OH. The experiment proved very unsuccessful, however. I think they ran out of fingers to count all the broken drawbars. I'm sure the article jeaton refers to would tell more about that.
