That small area of steel-on-steel contact is what reduces friction to the point that allows millions of tons to roll along efficiently.

I was thinking it had something to do with rolling resistance.
Plus I've wondered the rails ain't flat. Now I know. And knowing is half the battle.[/G.I.Joe]

The other day I saw something I'd never seen before. Train was going by when I got to the crossing. I sat there a minute watching the cars go by. A couple of minutes go by, prolly a quarter-half mile of train...and there, in the middle of this train, was an engine. Just one, all by his lonesome. And then another half mile o' train. Never seen that. I'm wondering if he was on the job, helping move the train, or if they just needed to get a locomotive somewhere.
ETA: I just realized...I don't think I heard that engine. Does locomotives got neutral?

May 10th is the reenactment and celebration of the 150th anniversary of driving the Golden Spike in Utah.
I know 29 of the people going. Union Pacific 4014 Big Boy has been restored and will be there. 132 feet long.

Sounds like he's saying no locomotive at either end, just one in the middle.

I assume there was/were engine(s) at the front, I was late for that scene. Nothing at the rear.

I don't know what sedan, nor when that was made. 747's have been around since 1970 and it wouldn't be an unreasonable approximation during that time.

That Skytrain is ripe for Skyjacking a bunch of travelers after they've come through the duty free liquor shop.
Sometimes you don't need a flatcar, just the wheels...
