I still find it amazing that a train of this length, even with a pusher at the rear, does not tip over or derail going round a curve as tight as something like this. Any idea how many wagons and approx. total weight being pulled?

@Andrew
Because the photo was taken in 2008 I don't have the exact numbers present, but: As far as I could remember the train has had arround 110 cars. And according to Wikipedia a standard hopper weights ~143t in loaded state, so such a train weights approx 15'730t. @US-photographers: Please correct my if I'm telling wrong infos.
