Perhaps there is a shortage of locomotives in the Los Angeles basin, as BNSF Railway train H-BARWAT1-26A, the daily Barstow CA to Watson CA freight train, has 11 locomotives for an 84-car train (38 loads and 46 empties, and weighing 6833 tons). That seems like a lot. Power for this train is (on the headend) BNSF (unless otherwise noted) Dash 9-44CW 5520, ES44C4 6273, Norfolk Southern AC44C6M 4531, ES44AC 5877, ES44DC 7839, ES44C4 6672, ES44DC 7796, CSXT ES44AC 893 and Dash 9-44CW 617, with Dash 9-44CWs 4138 and 4622 as the rear Distributed Power Units.
