Looks like at least the last 4 or 5 cars are on their side. In Aug. 2019, latest I could find, the train usually had 9 or 10 cars and two locomotives. Three sleepers, diner, observation car and 3-4 coaches and a baggage car.

Assuming the consist is similar, half the train is on it’s side.

Choo-choos, unsafe at any speed

I used to live right next to the tracks in Kannapolis NC (outside Charlotte) and we’d get to see the Carolinian running between Charlotte and Washington roll through northbound in the mornings and southbound in the evenings. That one was smaller, no observation car and I think maybe one fewer sleeper. Usually 7-8 cars total.
