I'm sure it sounded great, but most solid bulk commodity trains can only operate w/ 24 equilvalent powered axles on line per NS rules. Although it's possible that this train (as some are) is allowed 32 equilvalent axles, most of those 11 units were probably either isolated or dead in tow.
It still is a cool sight to see, nice pics!
