100,000 ton trains are anything but common. I searched about and found this at a number of sources: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU_3KfdG3fk Weight: 99,732 tonnes (109,935.711 US short tons, 98,156.885 UK long tons) Length: 7.35 km (4.57 miles) Not topped anywhere since 2001, and even then, from what I've read, was considerably above normal practice. The previous heaviest /longest was in South Africa a few years prior and was about 66.000 tonnes. regards, Anthony -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
