We're talking ten trains here, easily, and I was also operating a BNSF unit. That day, it looked like BNSF had taken over everything in the east.

By the way Ed do you guys have the same problem with new conductors staying awake. mine seem to fall asleep about the time they sit down on the engine..do you have this problem ed.............................ed....................................ed wake up!!!!!
