This is so cool. Growing up, Thomas the tank engine was my absolute favorite show. 23 years later I'm blown away that there is still a real life equivalent to the trains in that show. May have just (re)discovered a hobby. I had no idea trains could climb an incline like this. Why is it beneficial for the locomotive to be in the rear? Is the central rail an anti-rollback like found on Rollercoasters?

When descending from the hill, why the locomotive still push the wagon...not hold the wagon or in the front position?.
