Locals can be big trains. They're often associated as being powered by a single locomotive, pulling a motley assortment of seven, or eight freight cars. The Southern transfer runs that ran behind my boyhood home in Atlanta, never had less than 100 cars and caboose. Three, "Tuxedo" GP9s, running short-hood forward. There was a lot of industry around the neighborhood back then, and those trains would rattle the ground.
