Your first roll
6 6 6 * 6
is not a freight train, by the definition in the printed rules:
"Five matching faces are a Freight Train"
(and the picture makes it clear that there is no freight train of 3's).
I would say you had 60 points in the first roll, then the '3 6' forces
you to roll again. Then the last 2 5's in '5 5 * 5 5' (which is not a
freight train either), give you 70, roll on. Then the 3 10's and 5 give
you 105 + 70 = 175.
I recently scored 275 with out a freight train. I've also scored well
over 600 points in a turn with a freight train of 5's.
