We talk about single engine trains. The UP seems to be already doing it. I witnessed a very powerful desiel running hard the other day by itself towing autoracks. I lost count after 20 of them.I feel that the SD7 or similar engines develop tractive effort sufficient to start trains and have more wheels to spread the weight on lighter railroads.I think also that we have been de-rating or casterating engines for years now we need to get back to more horsepower more TE. They may find it cheaper to start, move and mantain heavier trains that way.But what do I know, I only need to burn 8 gallons an hour on a fat CAT instead of winding out a weedeater at 20+gph on the same grade.
