1. Yay no crossing bell!!
2. Booooo to loco on back
3. Very cool! I love these short lines!! Love the small power, rickety track, and slow speeds. Soooo very cool

3 engines for 14 cars? Was it a power move, or they take a big load back? I saw somebody sitting in that trailing engine, a crew of 3 on a small train, so without more info it's a puzzler to me.

The G&U uses 3 engines most of the time because of the grade into Grafton Center.
