Monster UP freight

Saw an enormous freight in UP's North Yards (SLC, UT) last night. It stretched from the 6th North overpass clear to the I-15 overpass at Beck Street. When it left, I counted cars. Would you believe 224 cars in one freight train? I know it's flat between SLC and Ogden, and I'm pretty sure they were mostly empties, but still...

It had 3 GEs on the front, and one more mid-train after 120 cars.

It was headed north, to Ogden. Final destination unknown (at least by me).
