Neat to see such a large train. Wonder if they rode any better with that tail of freight?

Nice video!  Hard to believe they ran 90mph with all that stuff on rear end!

Thanks for posting, Ron.  Yes, the world's longest mixed train.  I counted twenty mail handling cars after the passenger cars.  Rode this train in 1999 and didn't notice any problems with the extra cars on the rear.
