 You're lucky to have 90 lb. rail.  In spots we tread lightly over 75 lb rail.  Looks real little under a SD40-2.

Yes.

It may be Wikipedia, but this article doesn't do a bad job of explaining it.

 For the record, the car in the foreground is NKP 1907, a flat car. The car behind it is a caboose. In the bottom right of the photo you can also see the HEP cables from the flat car.
