"NdeM" = "Nacionales de Mexico" (I think...)

Meaning WAY LOW when I thought you were describing 3 units hauled at once,
but I should have known better than that. I fell for the old "seeing the
words but not thinking the thoughts" trap. You said:

"Not ONE unit though, at least three of them---"

Now I get that they railed 3 units up to Craig, and are hauling them by road
ONE at a time to Desarado. That being the case, I don't disagree with your
estimate.

(like I said, if I had been *thinking*... I wouldn't be *feeling* STUPID
right now...)
