Do you have any idea how many grain cars there were in this "hot" grainer? Just curious.

I didn't hear the MP 27.2 detector to be accurate but these have been about 115 grain cars per train. Heard one the other day that was 520 axles which translates to 118 cars. I hope this answers your question.
