Great video, the potash trains are heavy when loaded , 105 ton per car , the trains that run east and west in Canada usually have 100 to 127 potash cars and 6 units in the train.
Back in the ( i believe the seventies) CN built a few proto type oar cars using 2 50 ton hoppers and putting them on a tri truck articulating frame (one on each end and one in the middle ) don't know what happened with them or what problems they had with them but they didn't build any more of those cars.
Fantastic Scenery And The Snow ❄ Fall Awesome 👌
