I agree with Junctionfan - some locos in the front and a push from the back end. But how about this idea for steep grades - how about some sort of flat steel bar with teeth in it layed down and fastened in the center of the track? Then have special gears on locos which could be drawn down and lock in. More hp would be used in this coal drag. Hp is lost each time wheels slip.
