Love the "millipede" like train snaking through the hills
then the technical specs

3 locos, 236 cars, 1.5 mile long train, 26,000 tonnes of ore... designed for 55C (130F) heat.
And if you do the math, a Prius owner putting his car on the top of an ore car, and paying for his marginal fuel consumption would be getting 300MPG...not too shabby.
