Thanks a lot M.W. Hemphill!!! <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: Weight: early diesel engines were far too heavy for locomotive applications.[/quote] <br /> <br />Is weight actually a positive or negative factor of a locomotive???? I have heard that the more the loco weigh, the higher the tractive force a loco use to pull the load. An electric loco does not have diesel engine(s), and big, heavy fuel tank, how do they get the weight from? <br /> <br />Karn[:)]
