This is a rare catch with a cowl leader on a very long interesting train!! Word is cowl units will soon be retired. Full 3:53 train video attached.

A couple years ago the racks alone would have been the train, and a long one on their own. But instead there are 80-90 racks and 40-50 cars of mixed freight. Seems like it was probably 11,000-12,000 feet.

Always nice to see 86 feet boxcars. That Southern Pacific hi-cube 60' car was real nice to see as was the Conrail 60 footer.
