Now everyone can understand why modellers like to have lots of locomotives on their rosters.Awesome bridge!

Nice catch. That train is seriously over-powered. IIRC, the compensated grade is something like 1% or 1.25%. For the non-locals, this brige, over the Mississippi River just above New Orleans, is in the midst of a major rebuilding and expansion. There's an interesting presentation I think at the Louisiana Department of Transportation & Development website.

That is one serious bridge.

The train consist is of equal interest to the engines. Nice angle on the bridge approach.
