3.5 mile long train moves from Texas to L.A., CA.
Safety, traffic concerns raised when 3.5-mile-long freight train rolls through L.A. Basin

An apparently unprecedented super freight train -- extending some 3½ miles -- rolled through Southern California over the weekend, catching state regulators off guard and prompting concerns about potential safety risks and traffic delays, The Times has learned.
Union Pacific said the train was a test of equipment and ways to improve operating efficiency, but that the company does not have plans to run such trains regularly.
