Intermittent Long FREIGHT Trains (up to half mile)

Description
150-rebuild BETA: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3255081278

With this mod, FREIGHT trains are frequently long (half mile). Some are mixed freight; some are unit, and they have FREDs. Many trains are Multiple-Unit (i.e., multiple locomotives).

Without promods Canada
- CPR spawns primarily in Washington state.

With promods Canada
- the CPR locomotive livery in this mod differs from promods' livery.
- promods Canada mod expects SCS default locos ('traffic.emd_sd40' and 'traffic.a_lines), which this mod excludes because of potential conflicts with other mods. Thus game.log.txt will show related errors, which do not affect game play.

sister mod (even longer): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1762654117

- GoogleDrive link to addon that includes "Arnooks Container Pack Train AddOn" (28JUL2023)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OYBTcw5hfv4mvh8HoOiSgozU8Nf9YFmy/view?usp=sharing
CRITICAL: read instructions in desription before enabling!! My Arnook mod doesn't work by itself.

29MAY2023:
- added AGCR loco and wagons (Alamo Gulf Coast Railway). (SCS' GARC)
- changed SD40 locos' ditchlights to non-flashing (BNSF, AGCR)

27JAN2023:
- coal wagons: BNSF livery
- gondolas: coils cargo
- more locos

22DEC2022:
- new SCS lod system
- alternating ditch lights
- reconfigured consists
- locomotive/dmu exhaust
- remodeled FREDS

@davesnow, thank you :)

I'm rewriting this mod; the beta is here:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3255081278
(only 'very long' version for now)

in the rewrite I'l take another look at UPRR color (my color differential skills are not great I applied F6BF33. I will use FFCC00 in the rewrite per https://utahrails.net/up/up-paint-html.php

the locos modeled by SCS are ES44AC and SD40.; I;'m using their models.

I used a spreadsheet with real-world data: traction-efforts and wagon (lengths, tares, and laden) to determine consist makeup. You'll see multiple-loco consists in the 'very long' mod.

The Union Pacific locomotives are not the correct shade of yellow-gold. And with long trains, there are at least TWO locomotives on front---more likely 3 or 4. There are also a couple or three on the rear if it's a long train. BNSF,CSX,NS,KCS,CN,CP, and many other companies use the wide cabs too.

Where did the new version disappear to? Thanks

I am fine with a few pink items at trainyards, it's not a huge deal until the mod is updated. Thanks for your work :)
