Inertia: I'm no scientist so forgive me for asking the obvious. From my youth, I remember steamers leaving mainline termini (Like Paddington or Euston in London. There would be a lot of huffing and puffing as the main drive wheels skidded, trying to get traction on the 8 or 9 passenger carriages until the train started moving. All very exciting for a young boy. Towards the beginning of your video you showed an enormously long coal train pulled by 2 diesels. How on earth do trains like that get started? Do they have lots of skidding wheels with barely any traction to begin with? Do they start with empty trucks and load them without stopping? I assume the trucks all have brakes, otherwise the tractors would never be able to stop the dead weight behind them. All very interesting. It would be very informative if you have videos of these type of heavyweights starting up. Thanks for the videos, by the way. I watch all of them although, I confess, that I skip the children's ones.

What is the largest number of different railroads you have seen represented by paint scheme in a single train? I was lucky enough to see all US class 1s except Kansas city southern once.

Westerh freight trains always have extra locomotives at the end of the train. Do the grades get so steep out there that they need the extra power?

UP is far more interpreting to watch because they use a great variety of power. BNSF, at least on the west coast is GE only.
Great job.
