Thanks for the photo's, 113 cars ought to be close to a record. If you watch the train vs. tornado video on youtube of the UP train caught in the twister, you can see how much momentum is built up in a train even when the air goes. Speed, weight and grade can extend stopping distances, add too, if loaded cars slip down an embankment, they will pull others with them until a drawbar breaks.
