For you I will get the locomotive next time. May be in the next few weeks.

How did you determine the length of the train - did you count the cars?

 

[John Gowland]

I had one shot and the DJI FPV battery was not fully charged and could not get to the front of the train. So, the statement was a result of a search on "WA iron ore, train search." Apparently, some are even longer.
