Scott, <br /> <br />Weight limits for individual cars are based on track performance but the overall limit for the train is based on the running speed requirement which is related to engine pulling capacity and the contour and curvature of the track alignment. <br /> <br />This is a bit of a simplistic definition but I hope it gives you the answer you are looking for. <br /> <br />Ed
