I think they temporarily regauged the trucks by moving the wheels on one side only. I'm not exactly sure how that affected couplers though, and how that train got across Lobato with a little more weight than normal. But hey, if they can get that to work, why not pull all of the passenger cars in one long train, provided we've got the ridership, with a coupla re-gauged SD90MACs or something?
