They had a French translation on the local channels, "Ca bouge en grand". I had the pleasure of watching a Big Boy and a Turkish engine being moved.

My friend affirmed that kaolin cars would not require any kind of spacer cars and that the boxcars were merely part of the consist. His thoughts are in keeping with their random appearance at the head end of this train. When I handle tank cars on my N Scale road, I add spacers between locomotives and the caboose just for the fun of it and re-arrange the consist to keep spacers in place each time the train stops to switch. Yep, I always run cabooses. My road refuses to modernize.
