Sorry we only brought 20 wagons.
That was all we could fit into the sidings.

To me it sounds like the front 2 and the last loco before the wagons are working... hence the loud noise, lol

Crikey! 137 wagons I count? Wouldn't like to be sat at a level (of course I should say Railroad) crossing when that goes past.

Which is one of the reasons they take a chance on getting across and also why "Operation Lifesaver" is promoted by all the American railroad companies.

Ya missed 10 theres 147 i watched and counted twice and got 147 twice.
It'd be a life waiting at a crossing on a 10mph stretch of track.
