122 EMPTY coal cars. An SW1500 can do the same. I have on several ocassions, although only made about 12 MPH on a 30 MPH railroad. Still impressive none the less. Everyone always says how can you haul THAT MANY cars with a single engine? It's not the number of cars that count, it's the tonnage being pulled.
