Well at my house there was a special Union Pacfic Run and i saw it go by, it was a 30 mph speed limit and it took 23mins and 43 secs to pass,

It has 6 Dash 9 - CEPP GM Engines pulling all those wagons.

23 mins 43 seconds? Let's figure out how long it is...

The train was 19.08413 kilometres long.

Well, the speed was sign posted for 30, however i did not watch it all, it might have stopped i am not too sure due to the fact the i was making breakfast but i left my stopwatch on!

This answer your question!!!

I would think about 150 freight cars on Colorado Coal trains with 3 locos on the front, 2 in the middle and 2 on the back.
