That looks like a depiction of a train over 35 years ago, going by the rail cars. DTI was bought by Grand Trunk in 1980, and the car carriers are still uncovered. Would look good in the railroad thread. 
Thanks!

IIRC, I had 68 cars pulled by a single BLI steam engine (4-8-2 IIRC) during my loco testing.
Level track but around 3 of 4 90* 24"r curves.
I could have done done more but ran out of free rolling cars.

I saw at least 2 engines on the point and at least 10 mid train helpers just in the first 3 minutes.
The easy way to do this would be to speed match all the locos (common), and then either consist them or set them to the same address and simply couple one train on the back of another.
MR mag says my BLI M1 4-8-2 should have 8 oz drawbar pull which is roughly 80 cars. So I was getting close.
