The last time I saw one (about 2 years ago), it consisted of 124 wagons plus
brake wagon hauled by ALF/GM/ALF.
The brake wagon BTW was a flat wagon with diesel powered air compressor and
large air tanks mounted on it plus a covered section which housed radio and
brake control equipment. It allowed the brakes to be applied and released from
both ends simultaneously.
