I just found an amazing video clip of an SP train battling a grade at about 15 mph with 13 EMD units for power. Seven units were at the head end and six were mid-train.
The head-end consist:
SD40T-2
SD40
SD45T-2
SD45T-2
SD45 (sounds to be running at reduced rpm)
SD40T-2
GP9
Mid-train consist:
SD40T-2
SD45T-2
SD45T-2
SD40T-2 (making black smoke--turbo problems)
SD40T-2
SD40T-2 (not running)
