Here on the
Landsborough Central, using NARS 2.03 over mountainous territory, multiple engines are the order of the day. Our 4,000 ton coal trains warrant a trio of EMD SD9s, a pair on the front end and a third unit cut in just in front of the way car (caboose), providing 5250 HP and 223,000 Lbs of tractive effort.

Of course, in order to accommodate these type of behemoth trains that are common in North American practice, we need to set our maximum station length to 16 TL. Here's a screenshot of the station at Brohall Mines, which produces 400-500 tons of coal per month:
