The RailBox cars are just before the Santa Fe red caboose.
The EMD F7 has no problem pulling this 18 car consist.
The diesel sound is great.
The consist is passing the Shell Refinery.
Passing one of the long tunnel entrances.
The consist under the ICE trains storage yard.
This shows why it is called a Red Bonnet.
I added another unpowered A Unit (Märklin 4060) which makes the loks look great.
The 4060 unit is meant for analog so its headlamp and sign boards are very bright. I will replace the lights with leds..
Moving unto the mainline in the City section of the layout.
The consist is seen coming out of the long tunnel.
Another view of the three lok units.
