Too lazy and can't see real well anymore myself, but dropping the list into excel shows there are 5 locos, 4 buffer cars and 145 tank cars.

Interesting.....Out here on the BNSF Gateway Sub (in da mountains)
we see that much power for only 105 tanks + buffers.......

Looks to me like they put two together, and if this stays intact to Chicago, will get split into 2 separate CSX trains (minus the DPU sine CSX doesn't run them)

Wow, short and heavy!!!

Wow, mid-trainers on an oil train! Never seen that before!

Ha! I think you have been April fooled!
