| At the end of the show, we put together a train of 227 cars, with 4
SD60s on the point and 2 GP40s as mid-train helpers placed at about 2/3
of the length of the train. Many club members contributed rolling
stock to the train, a tribute to our adherance to rolling stock standards.
Once the train reached a length of 200 cars or so, the GPs were moved from
the front of the train to the mid-train helper position to avoid laying
over cars at the front of the train that were resting on the (36" radius)
corners when we tried to start the train. |
