No, I haven't seen that one. We'd like to figure out how to put up a live webcam on the roof to look out over Fernley Yard, but I don't know how to do it, even though we now have the bandwidth for it.
Twelve is a bit much! We commonly have trains with 5 or so up front with both mid- and end-of-train distributed power units. Indeed, one such train came through last night. I heard on the radio scanner later that they broke down about thirty rail miles east of here when the rear DPU failed and in the process led to the train pulling out a drawbar. It wasn't a good night for that crew, or for the dispatcher who had to figure out what to do about it. They must have gotten it cleared eventually, but I went to bed last night before hearing the end of the story.
