    I don't have that info handy...

    I do know they are 69' 6" over couplers... so figure about 3" less than that to get length over pilots

    By chance did you mean 3', rather than 3"?

    I always thought the rule of thumb was figure 4' less for length over pilots? Anyway, this means about 66' long, and that's as good as I need. Thanks!

    Yes... I meant 3'... got a little happy with the keyboard...

    4' is a good rule of thumb to use... for EMDs.
