[Accrs-ho] Video of 60 car coal train

[Dean & Margaret Lewis]

Joel,

I can go into the helix and head down grade.  When the engines come out 
at the bottom, you can still see the caboose at the top of the helix.   
Yes it is long, but it is fun and interesting to run.

This is one of the first trains that Santa Fe used to develop radio 
control of the helpers.   They built those B-units to be the receivers 
for the helpers.   The B-unit got signals from the lead loco and sent 
them to the helper locos.  Today, we have DPU and all sorts of radion 
controlled locos in trains.   It all started way back when.   Santa Fe 
learned alot and was a pioneer in developing what we have today.

By the way, those are RSD15's (DL600B) locos called "Alligators" on the 
Santa Fe due to the long nose.
