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.

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.
