I see at least 26 cars. Can that all go down the rack at once?

I forgot to say that the train is cut in parts, at Campo Grande Yard, close to Paranapiacaba.
Usually, 5 or 6 wagons go to pinion each time and the compostions are limited to 750 tons, excluding locomotives weight.

I realize I don't know why train length is generally so short on rack railways. It's clearly not coupler strength that's the limiting factor.
