In the drive to move bulk commodities like grain to market many advances have been made by railroads through the years. One of them is the now common "unit train", most over 100 cars long. But now in a further push for efficiency two of these trains are commonly linked together to create a "mega" train. Mind you this only works if the right of way can handle it. Too many 14,000 foot trains will jam up the network in a hurry if they are not timed correctly. On the BNSF Lakeside Sub in eastern Washington this once experiment is now all too common.

In just a single day I found:
Northbound at Cunningham: 3 loco, 115 cars, 2 loco, 116 cars, 1 loco - 231 cars (empties)
Southbound at Cunningham: 3 loco, 115 cars, 3 loco, 115 cars, 2 loco - 230 cars (loads)
Northbound at Glade (North Pasco): 3 loco, 116 cars, 2 loco, 116 cars, 1 loco - 232 cars (empties)
