For a second I thought you meant 3 to 4,737 fuselages! That's a big load for 1 loco. :hehe:

Yup... We have these back east in Cambridge and Watertown too. Sadly where I live you can still feel the old trolley tracks under the road where they put the trolley buses in.

A normal consist is usually 1 GEVO or Dash 9 leading, with 3 to 4 Boeing 737 fuselages in tow
