Yeah, I know cold weather and high altitude make it hard to pump the air up due to leakage at the hose connections. I think I remember reading that in Canada, even with diesels they had to limit the length of the train in severe cold weather because of that until they got air heater/repeater cars( I think GN had some of them too) which the narrow gauge didn't have. That's why I wondered how they could have operated that 125 cars. Maybe it was an unusually warm day when they did it.
