So that's why I only see Crapfish (popular new nickname for NS C40-9W's), look at the two lead units, an NS SD70M and an NS C40-8W.

Thats nothing as CN 102 always leaves the container port at Roberts Bank at 11-12,000 ft with up to 3 engines.Have counted 178 well cars on it.

I thought someone told me one time that right now the practical limit to train length was about 8,000 feet, because of the air brake lag. I guess if they go to an electro-pneumatic system (air brakes controlled with an electronic signal if I understand it right) you could get around that.Chris T.
