I'm sure the trains heading into The Alice used to be that long (or bloody close) had to wait for one when heading out towards Palm valley.

The iron ore trains in the Pilbarra are up to 250 ore cars. Two engines in front and another two in the middle.

So, will it train today?

Shorty.

Yep, they are only the long ones. I haven't shown the small stuff of under 1000 metres.

Absolutely. They could be longer but they'd need more engines to get them over the Blue Mountains.
