But numbers games can be fun, Olaf -
I am guessing that the 18 loads of large diameter pipe are limited by size, not weight, as these appear to have much thinner walls than the drill pipe – which WAS limited by the weight that a pipe gon could handle. Did the train make pretty good time, since it apparently wasn't quite at full capacity weight-wise?
