This long unit train of tank cars, with three GE locomotives on its head end and two EMD's as mid-train helpers, has a total of 15,000 horsepower. The train, hauling diesel fuel for the Comisión Federal de Electricidad, has just passed through the Monterrey yard, and is now departing toward Torreón. It is late in the afternoon of January 7, 1996, at Parque del Fraile in San Nicolás de los Garza, Nuevo León.
