The thing that amazes me about these trains is how the couplings can be so strong, especially at the front of the train. Think about that first connecting coupling! All the weight that’s on it. It’s amazing how strong steel actually is

CP Rail runs 180 car stack trains through the Rockies with 5 GE AC4400’s in distributed power. Two in the lead, 2 in the middle and one in the rear. Also they are about 90% double stacked. This one was about 50% single stack and running flat ground. They might have been testing length in regards to traffic tie-ups at level crossings. CP did this a few years back. 14,000 foot trains are getting pretty regular. This is tougher sledding through the Rockies.

The train was a monstrous 280 cars, 16 cars away from the monster that traversed UP's Sunset Route in January 2010 and 22 cars more than my longest train in September 2016 (my profile picture is that train). I love this and I think this a going-concern strategy for BNSF. Interestingly, the videos I have see of this mega train are in just Kansas and Illinois so far.

It totally makes sense to run huge trains. CN does it between Toronto and Vancouver or Prince Rupert everyday. It's just weird that there is no videos of these monsters through Cajon Pass, Abo Canyon, the Arizona Divide or Mojave Desert, but I guess it is a matter of time. UP's only huge intermodal is between Global 3 and Long Beach and it runs along the Overland Route and through Las Vegas. Oddly, there is no huge eastbound intermodal in return. They still have yet to run 10,000 foot intermodals on their Sunset Route between Texas and California as well as to the Portland, Seattle, and San Francisco.
