MRL Grain Train Helpers

It's time for another BNSF Earth Worm on the layout. This time we have three BNSF SD70MACs and a MRL SD45 on the head end. 60 cars back is a five set of MRL SD45 helpers cut in 2/3 deep. Thats 16,800 HP up front and an additional 18,000 HP in the middle. The way is should always be! Image captured at http://www.CaliforniaSouthern.org
