I love unit trains.
I have a military train; a Tropicana reefer train; a coal train; a TOFC train.......but, I dare say, there has never been a unit train like this! 
The "Fresh Fish Express"!!!!!!

Peter,
Nice trains. At my club, we've pooled our aquarium cars to make a long unit train. It's a big hit during our open houses.

Neat videos and consists! Here's my string of liquor billboard reefers.
For those of you with aquarium car unit trains, what is the highest number of aquarium cars you have run at one time?
I just counted and I have 24 Lionel aquarium cars and 20 MTH aquarium cars. I don't know how much power they draw, but I wonder how many a 180 watt brick could handle.

Oh, that is cool. No doubt you are going to tell us a fish-tale about that.
I have a very short solid train of Steelers hot metal cars and a six-car string of boxcars.

Last week I was at a sonwriter's retreat at The Garrison Institute in Garrison, NY, which has beautiful views of the Hudson River and West Point.
One morning, I saw a unit freight train of endless container cars pulled by 2 CSX diesel locomotives. I could not believe how long it was; it must have been a few miles long.
I don't have any container train cars but do enjoy running unit coal dump and oil tanker trains. I also have an MTH Proto 3 CSX diesel, which enables me to kind of re-create the train scene I saw on the Western side of the Hudson last week.

Unit train on the mining line. The electric 
railroad only has ore cars and one small passenger car. Copper ore is all it hauls. Don

Awesome unit mining train, Don.
I find the traditional sized Postwar cars, like the coal/ore dump cars, work well for making unit trains. Their smaller size makes for longer unit trains running through reverse loops.
