7000 Horsepower

at least! This train was crawling towards a red signal Heading to Worcester Ma and Boston or Kearney NJ Many of these trains just pass thru the US They are loaded from ships in Long Beach C or Seattle-Tacoma WA and reloaded on ships on the east coast for Europe. This is faster than the Panama Canal which also has size restrictions. This is great for the US Railroads until the Russians figure out that the TransSiberian RR eliminates both ship loadings fron China The signal turned green and the 7000 horses quickly had the train going 70MPH.
