This steam engine is starting to make up the first record breaking number of cars to be pulled at the MLS.

Backing into the station for more cars.

There were two super trains this day. The first was pulled by this set of 4 diesels. Technically, 4 replicas, the prime movers are gas engines coupled to fluid drives on the axles.

Waiting for departure. And yes, that is the end of the train in the center of the photo in the distance,
_IMG858
If I can credit the owner of these engines, please let me know!
_IMG859
Off and running with 110 CARS if I remember correctly.
_IMG860
Unfortunately, when the DS radioed the engineer indicating that the train had cleared the yard, the engineer thought he had said there was a problem and stopped the train to fast, causing a massive derailment.
_IMG861
Looks like a prototypical derailment!!!
_IMG862
_IMG863
Fortuneately, there were no injuries to the people riding!

The next run is with two steam engines, a NYC Hudson 4-6-4 and a UP Challenger 4-6-6-4, pulling around 117 cars.

Starting to pull. Someone calculated how many tons weight these engines were pulling, but I have forgotten. Anybody remember?

You can not see the headend power, except for the smoke.
