On a recent Wednesday at the UPSF Joint Line, I got out a large portion of my collection of modern HO scale freight cars to see how many I could run before having constant derailments.
49 cars with 2 locomotives up front, 1 mid train, and 1 rear distributed power is the consist.
I started the video at the west end of Vincennes staging yard, make 2 passes at Charles Interlocking, sail around Mustang Curve, highball Argentine yard on the 2MT section, loop the loop at Williams Loop, and stretch out at Flora before the train disappears back at Vincennes staging.
